Magog Down
Nice Off Lead Walk Around The Parameter Of The Gog Magog, Great View Of Cambridge. There Are Some Larger Fields That Can Be Walked Through But Dogs Must Be Kept On Leads As There Are Lots Of Birds Which Nest In The Long Grass In Spring And Also Sheep Which Are In A Secure Field. There Are A Few Benches Scattered Around To Rest You Feet. The Doggy Playing Field Is Nice To Watch Dogs Playing Together And Chat To Other Dog Owners. I Haven't Had Any Problems With Parking On The Times I've Been In The Week, Not Sure How Busy It Gets At The Weekend.
