Highcliffe Castle
Highcliffe Castle Is A Lovely Place To Walk Your Dogs, There Is Access To Woods, A Dog Friendly Beach And A Café For Afterwards. You Can Do A Short Walk In The Grounds, Maybe Add On The Woods That Can Be Accessed From The Castle Garden. We Do The Long Walk Either Along The Sandy Beach Towards Mudeford Or We Take One Of Paths That Wind Their Way Along Towards The Shops At Highcliffe. Although Usually Busy This Is A Delightfully Rural Location With Great Views Across To The Needles On A Clear Day. Our Dogs Love The Dog Friendly Bays Which Are Clearly Marked.

Barton On Sea New Milton
This Is A Nice Walk For Your Dog If They Fancy A Swim! We Have Never Left Here With A Dry Dog Yet! There Is A Lot Of Parking At The Top Of The Cliff, Either On The Roadside Of Marine Drive, Or In The Actual Car Park. You Can Access The Beach By Following The Pathway Down Around, Past The Cafe. The Beach Is Pretty Much Pebbles, But You Might Fin The Odd Bit Of Sand. Picking Up After Your Dog Is A Must, Especially As The Beach Is Used By Families &Amp; Children. Plenty Of Coastline To Take In, So You Can Really Make This A Long Or Short Walk, Its Up To You!
