Preston Guild Wheel is a 21-mile shared walking and cycling route around Preston. The council route leaflet includes dog walkers and instructs them to use close leads and clear waste; long leads create trip hazards for other users. Follow current signs and local lead rules. Permission covers the shared route, not dog-excluded visitor facilities, play areas, sports areas or off-route nature-reserve land. Some riverside and Sandygate Lane sections can flood, and the Boilton Wood/Brockholes approach is steep and uneven. The licensed route geometry and approximate route marker are retained; the marker is not the official start or a newly verified entrance.
Keep dogs under control, avoid distressing visitors or wildlife, use leads where official signs require and clear up after dogs. Forestry operations may restrict access; follow safety signs.
There may be restrictions on access to parts of the forest from time to time due to forest operations so pay attention to safety signage.
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 owner highlights public rights of way and ground-nesting birds. Keep to permitted routes and follow wildlife-protection signs.
