Before you choose
Rules change between places and seasons, so always check the landowner’s own notice on the day. Pack water and bags, and if your dog gets overexcited on busy routes, the Calmdogs calming bites are a complementary feed some owners carry in the kit bag, though anxiety is one for your vet. You may also want our secure dog fields and dog swimming spots.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do dogs have to be on a lead on public walks?
It depends on the place and the time of year. Each area guide lists the rules the council, National Trust or other landowner publishes, and says where we couldn’t confirm.
What if my area is missing from the list?
A few areas don’t have a walks guide yet. Those are listed at the bottom of this page with a link to the area guide.
