Before you go

  • Keep your dog on a lead near livestock, and follow any signs on the route.
  • Between 1 March and 31 July, dogs must be on a short lead on open access land in England and Wales to protect ground-nesting birds.
  • If cattle chase you, let your dog off the lead and head for safety separately.
  • Check the route on the map before you set off. Paths change and some cross fields or roads.

Dog walks: common questions

Where do these walks come from?

The main button opens AllTrails, a walking app with ratings, photos and reviews, already zoomed to your area. Below that we list short signposted local routes from OpenStreetMap, the free map kept up to date by volunteers.

Are these walks dog-friendly?

Most public footpaths and bridleways can be walked with a dog under close control. Some places have their own rules, like nature reserves, farmland with livestock and some beaches in summer, so check the signs when you get there.

Does my dog need to be on a lead?

Keep your dog on a lead near livestock. On open access land in England and Wales, dogs must be on a short lead between 1 March and 31 July to protect ground-nesting birds. Local signs may ask for leads at other times too.

Why can't I see any short walks near me?

Some areas have fewer signposted routes mapped. AllTrails usually has more, and you can also search OS Maps or Google Maps using the links on this page.

How muddy will my walk be?

Check the Muddy Forecast. It rates the mud from the last 48 hours of rain where you are and shows the driest time to walk today.
