Dog Walker's Guide
2 total works
The 20 circular routes have been carefully designed with maximum off-lead time and minimum exposure to roads. Each walk has information on the distance and terrain, livestock likely to be encountered, number and type of stiles en route and in an emergency, the nearest veterinary surgery. The walks include Barbury Castle, Ogbourne St George, Savernake Forest, Stourhead, Tollard Royal and ancient Avebury where the Ridgeway footpath begins.
Here is a collection of 20 tried and tested circular walks throughout Dorset ranging in length between 3 to 6 miles. They include crucial dog factors such as livestock, stiles and roads, with warnings in advance when a lead is necessary and when it's safe to run free. Dorset's open landscape is ideal for dogs who like to run around and explore. The routes cater for a variety of interests. There are picture postcard villages like Milton Abbas; echoes of Dorset's past such as at Badbury Rings and Corfe; plus walks along the majestic coastline that include Old Harry Rocks and Cesil beach.
