Dog-friendly walks and outdoor places across the UK

Dogs are welcome at Blidworth Woods but as this wood is a busy site and used extensively by horse riders on the horse trail throughout the year, we ask you to please keep your dogs under close control at all times and that dog mess is bagged and taken home with you to dispose of.

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.

Occasionally there may be restricted access to parts of the forest during work or other 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.
