Local Dog Walks

Wickham Disused Railway / Meon Valley Trail
A Lovely Walk Along A Disused Railway And Straight Grit Pathway. It Runs Through Woodland, Under A Few Old Railway Bridges, And Past Some Streams. It Can Be A Little Muddy In A Few Places, But It’S Relatively Flat. There Can Be Cyclists Or The Occasional Horse With Rider, But There’S Space For Your Dog To Sniff Around For Exciting Smells. There’S Free Parking, And Wickham Has A Few Dog Friendly Tea-Rooms/Small Restaurants. It Can Get A Little Busy At The Weekend If You Leave It Too Late, But It Didn’T Cause Us Any Issues. There Aren’T Very Many Bins En-Route, But I Keep A Little Poo Bag Holder, So It Wasn’T An Issue. We Had A Pleasant Walk, And Wickham Is Very Quaint! Wickham 0.07 miles

Swanwick Nature Reserve
Swanwick Nature Reserve Can Be Found At The End Of Sopwith Way To The Rear Of The National Air Traffic Site In Swanwick. There Is A Small Car Park But If Necessary, You Can Park (Considerately) Along Sopwith Way. The Nature Reserve Consists Of Three Walks Marked Red (Short), Blue (Around The Lake) And Yellow (Longest). By Following The Marked Posts It Is Possible To Do A Combination. Poo Bins Are Provided Along The Walk Routes. We Found This To Be A Very Pleasant Walk But Be Prepared For Some Inclines Which Can Be A Bit Slippery Underfoot At Certain Times. As This Is A Nature Reserve, Please Ensure You Pick Up And Are Mindful Of The Wildlife!! 5 Sopwith Way Swanwick Southampton SO31 7AY 4.27 miles Sopwith Way, Swanwick To The Rear Of Nats
