The UK has more than 140,000 miles of public rights of way, and the vast majority are open to dogs. The problem is knowing which ones are worth the trip: too many online walk guides are written for hikers, not dog owners, and the ones that mention dogs rarely tell you about stiles, livestock fields or on-lead requirements until you get there.

Listings include the route and dog-access details available in our records. Review status varies, so check the label on each listing. Check current signs and local guidance for access, livestock and lead restrictions before setting out.

Dog walks: common questions

Where can I find dog walks near me in the UK?
Search by town or browse by region to find dog walks near you. Listings show the distance, difficulty and terrain details available in our records. Check the listing and local information before setting out.
Can I let my dog off the lead on public footpaths?
Not automatically. Dogs must be kept on a lead near livestock and in many nature reserves, national parks and designated wildlife areas. Always check signage at the start of a walk and keep your dog on a lead where instructed.
What makes a dog walk suitable for puppies?
Shorter distances, flatter terrain, and soft surfaces such as grass or woodland floor are easier on developing puppy joints. Avoid long or steep walks until your dog is fully grown, typically 12 to 18 months depending on breed size.
Are there dog walks suitable for elderly or arthritic dogs?
Yes. Filter by easy difficulty and look for walks under 3 miles on flat terrain. Riverside and park walks tend to have the gentlest surfaces. Avoid walks with stiles or steep gradients.
How are the walks on this site selected?
Check the label on each listing for its recorded review status. A published listing does not by itself mean the route or dog access has been checked. Read the available route details and check current local restrictions before setting out.
