Itchen Valley Country Park
A Great Walk With 2 Play Areas And Many Seating Spaces. The Parking Is Not Free And Carparks Can Fill Up Quickly But There Is A Lot Of Space To Walk Offlead. Go Ape Activity Is There And There Is A Cafe But It Is A Dog-Free Zone. However There Are Benches Outside That You Can Sit And Eat On.

Walk In The Fields, To A Stream And Back. 44 Stag Dr Hedge End Southampton SO30 2QN 2.24 miles On Maunsell Road, You Will See A Path In Between, Houses. Proceed Down The Path, You Will Need To Take The Second Right Path, From There You Will See A Gate And Then The Fields, On The Left. If You Cannot Find This Way Or You Need To Park. Go To Locke Road. There Is A Big Green Area On The Right And A Children'S Park On The Left. Go In Between. And You Will See The Fields. The Cornfield (The Biggest One) Will Be On Your Right. The Stream Is The Hardest To Find As There Is No Path. Just In Between Trees. I Have Placed The Marker On The Map Where You Will Find The Stream.

Knowle Park Fair Oak
Knowle Park Can Be Accessed Via Two Car Parks. Best To Avoid White Tree Close Car Park At School Drop Off And Pick Up Times. Although Not A Massive Area, Knowle Park Is Well Maintained And Clean. You May Need To Do Several Circuits To Give Your Dog A Long Walk But It Is A Pleasant Location With A Gravelled Walkway Around The Perimeter. There Are Car Park Opening/Closing Times (See Photo). There Are 'Poo' Bins For Dog Waste And Also A Children's Play Area Towards The White Tree Close Side. It Is A Popular Area For Dog Walkers And Can Get Busy At Times But There Is Enough Open Space To Not Spend All Your Time Dodging Other Walkers. 29 White Tree Cl Fair Oak Eastleigh SO50 7FE 3.06 miles Knowle Lane Or White Tree Close, Fair Oak

Southampton Common
A Vast Common (3000 Acres) With Pathways, Woods, Water And Even An Old Abandoned Graveyard. There Are Areas Of Mud Or Cleaner Pathways To Keep To, And Open Spaces To Throw A Ball. Depending On The Weather And Time Available, I Walk A Range Of Routes. You Can Access The Area By Car Quite Easily With Some Parking, But Weekends Can Be Busy. Access By Foot Off The Road Is Very Easy As Well. There’S A Playground And Beautiful Wildlife To See. I Never Get Bored Of The Area! Southampton Lancashire 3.07 miles There’S A Broad Range Of Access Points, But The Website Gives Good Direction If You Are New To The Area. There’S A Great Pub There Too!
