About this walk

Bestwood Country Park sits on former colliery land north of Nottingham, offering around three miles of circular walking through woodland, open parkland and brookside paths. Dogs are welcome throughout and can enjoy a good mix of surfaces, from firm tracks to rougher, muddier sections with some steep climbs. It is a spacious, quieter alternative to the city's busier parks, well suited to dogs that enjoy sniffing through varied woodland terrain.
