Dog Walking Information & Sites

Some sites (eg heaths, downs, wetlands and nature reserves) are particularly sensitive to visitors at certain times of year - please check the Doggy Do Code. You might consider going to less vulnerable sites at sensitive times.

Dorset Dogs is just starting out - this information will be built up to include many more sites. The idea is to provide information about all sorts of places, some will be more suitable for walking your dog than others. Can you tell us about any great dog-walking sites that you enjoy? We will get in touch with site managers for further details. Thank you to the many site managers who contribute to this page.

The information we have may also need updating over time, so if any information given here is wrong, please do let us know and

On all sites:

• Please follow the Doggy Do Code
• Please always keep your dog in sight and do not allow them to chase or
  disturb other visitors, wildlife or grazing animals
• Please securely bag and bin your dog waste.
  • some people with gardens prefer to train their dog to go in their own backyard before taking them for a walk,as it’s often easier to bag & bin it before leaving home.
  • please do not discard bags or hang them from bushes. If there’s no bin on site please take it home and dispose of it in your outside rubbish bin.
