Local Dog Walks

Chilworth Common
This 2.4 Mile Route Starts From The South Side Of The Motorway Bridge On Hadrian Way, Bassett, Southampton. Parking On The Road, Take The Footpath In Between The First House And The Bridge. The Path Follows Around The Edge Of The Woodland With Views Out Over The Golf Course. It Then Cuts Through The Centre, Across A Stream And Back Up To The Start. It's Very Easy To Adjust The Length And Direction To Suite The Time And Energy You Have As Paths Lead In All Directions. 5 Hadrian Way Chilworth Southampton SO16 7JA 1.90 miles The Route Starts From The South Side Of The Motorway Bridge On Hadrian Way, Bassett.

Testwood Lake
Nice Little Walk. Quite Short But Not Completely Flat So Dogs Can Use Up Some Energy. Not Overly Busy But Used By Joggers And Cyclists. Can Get A Little Muddy When Raining. Recommended If You Live In The Area. I Also Read The Council Is Soon To Inject Some Money Into The Area...

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 2.69 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!

Emmer Bog Stroll Romsey
Su 388219 About 2.5 Milesdespite Its Name, This Amble In December Is Less Muddy Than The Ones In Local Woods. This Is Because The Path Takes You Around The Edge Of The Bog And Some Of It Is Along Board Walks. The Centre Is An Internationally Important Lowland Bog With Many Rare Plants And Animals. However, The Fact That The Path Follows The Border Means That The Interior Remains Safe And The Dog Can Walk Without Risk To Wildlife. The First Part Of The Walk Is A Bit Of A Dog Walking Highway, However Few Seem To Venture Into Emer Bog. 5 Winchester Rd Romsey Lancashire SO51 9AL 3.02 miles On The Outskirts Of Romsey, Near Southampton.
