Local Dog Walks

Testwood Lake
Nice Little Walk. Quite Short But Not Completely Flat So Dogs Can Use Up Some Energy. Not Overly Busy But Used By Joggers And Cyclists. Can Get A Little Muddy When Raining. Recommended If You Live In The Area. I Also Read The Council Is Soon To Inject Some Money Into The Area...

Location what3words scorched.household.counters

Canada Common
Brilliant Scramble Over Common / New Forest Ground Perfect For A Big Loop Off Lead. You Can Make It A Small Stroll Or Big Long Walk From Here. Few Horses About The Day We Did This. Definitely A Welly Walk In Winter. We Parked At The Pub Then Walked Up Through The Pub Garden Through The Gates, Across A Small Road Straight Onto The Open Area. We Had Booked A Table At The Pub For After The Walk. Very Doggy Friendly Although Dogs Only Allowed In Bar Area Not Restaurant, But Menus Avaliable And The Food Is Amazing. Doggy Biscuits A Plenty At The Bar ! Kingston Parkcanada Rd West Wellow Romsey SO51 6DE 2.34 miles

Busketts Lawn
This Is A Lovely Part Of The New Forest With Lawns And Rivers And Ancient Woodland And Gravel Tracks. It's A Great Place To Play Games With Your Dogs, Explore The Lovely Scenery And Test Out Your Recall Training. There Are Wild Ponies, Cattle And Sometimes Even Pigs Running Free, But It Is A Very Popular Dog Walking Area So They Are Very Used To People And Dogs. The Car Park Is Near The Little Cricket Ground.

Plaitford Green Melchet Court
This 5Km Walk Includes Woodland, Parkland And Farm Land. Start At Plaitford Green (W3w.Co/Embarks.Prospers.Simply ).
