Dog-friendly walks and outdoor places across the UK

Dog walking is welcomed in this individually identified Forestry England outdoor site under the forest dog code. Keep dogs close and in sight; use a lead when recall is unreliable, prevent chasing people or animals, clean up waste and follow local wildlife, forestry-work and safety signs. Temporary restrictions can change available routes. Indoor buildings, concession cafés, campsites and event admission are not covered by this outdoor permission. Parking charges are separate from dog admission; dog fees and dog-number limits are not established. The mapped point is the owner published visitor-location point, not an independently confirmed entrance. The current owner page retains a timber-harvesting car-park closure notice ending in late September without confirming reopening. Check parking and safe pedestrian access with the ranger before travelling; obey harvesting signs.

Seasonal dog restrictions

Please keep dogs on a lead:

Dogs must be on leads March–July to protect nesting birds, and in late autumn/winter around lakes and marshes to protect wildfowl. Penrice Estate operates parking, toilets and visitor facilities; check its current facility information. This does not establish dog access to the hide, hotel, restaurant or other indoor premises. Dog access concerns the named reserve outdoor walking routes, subject to current signs and temporary restrictions. Indoor facilities and neighbouring businesses are not included. Dog charges and dog-number limits are unconfirmed; parking charges are separate. The pin is approximate, derived from the owner published 100m OS grid square for visitor parking or trail access (SS 503 864). Use the owner directions because the postcode covers a broad area.
