Local Dog Walks

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 1.16 miles

Bramshaw Woods (New Forest)
This Is A Nice Walk Through Part Of Bramshaw. There Are A Few Areas Around Here Good For Walking, But For This One, We Parked Just Off Forest Road, And Headed In Bramshaw Wood From There. We Went In Autumn, And The Whole Woods Was Covered In Fallen Leaves. Dogs Can Have A Really Good Forage Around. There Is A Stream, But The Walk Is Mainly Flat. Nothing Too Strenuous! Nice Place To Take The Children As Well, As There Is Plenty To Climb! Bramshaw Wood Cottage Nomansland Salisbury Lancashire SP5 2DB 1.99 miles
