Looking for dog walks near you that are near a friendly country pub?

Walking with your dog

Follow these simple steps to make sure you and your pet have a safe and enjoyable visit.

Public paths

There are paths that cross private land, much of which is used to grow the food we eat. You can bring your dog if:

  • dogs are on a lead or under close control
  • your dog is with you on the path, not straying off to one side, or in front
  • where livestock are present, they remain on a short lead
  • you exercise caution where cows have calves – let go of the lead if approached, your dog will take care of himself
  • you always clean up after your dog in the interest of good hygiene
  • you regularly worm your dog – dogs can carry parasites which are harmful to farm animals.
