Local Dog Walks

Milton Country Park
Milton Country Park Is A Popular Place For Dog Walkers. There Are Signs To Say Where Dogs Must Be Kept On Lead But There Also Areas Where Dogs Can Run Free. There Are Lots Of Good Facilities, Toilets, A Small Cafe, Benches, Children's Park, Litter And Dog Bins. The Park Can Get Very Busy At Weekends, Weekdays Are Much Quieter. It's A Lovely Place For An Afternoon Stroll With A Couple Of Lakes For A Doggy Paddle But Watch Out For The Swans Who Get Grumpy If They Are Disturbed.

Anglesey Abbey
Anglesey Abbey Is A Country House In The Village Of Lode, North-East Of Cambridge. The House And Grounds Are Owned By The National Trust, And You And Your Dog Can Enjoy The Trails Surrounding The Property, But Unfortunately Not The House And Gardens Themselves. This Walks Takes You Past Lode Mill And Through The Cambridgeshire Countryside. CB25 9EJ 2.26 miles 6 Miles North-East Of Cambridge On B1102. Signposted From A14, Junction 35.

Chivers Lake
Nice Walk Around Lake, No On Lead Areas But Do Need To Be Careful Along Guided Busway Side As Fencing Is Poor. Not A Problem If Your Dog Has Good Recall. It's Perfect During Summer As It's Safe For Dogs To Swim. There Is A Large Field Next To The Holiday Inn Hotel Which You Can Get To From The Lake. Perfect For A Ball Game Or Game Of Chase With Other Dogs. My Dog Loves It There. Downside, People Do Not Always Clear Up Their Litter Which Is A Real Shame. 32 A14 Impington 3.00 miles

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. Gog Magog Cottages Haverhill Rd Stapleford Cambridge CB22 5FX 5.94 miles
