Local Dog Walks

Fields Hedge End
Walk In The Fields, To A Stream And Back. 44 Stag Dr Hedge End Southampton SO30 2QN 0.55 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.

Manor Farm Country Park
This Is A Walk That Has Everything, Open Grassed Areas For Ball Running The Dog, Wooded Area Walks Which Are Great For The Dog That Likes To Have A Good Sniff And A Woodland Walk Next To Hamble River. I Normally Access The Park From Pylands Lane Which Is Next To Junction 8 Of The M27 And Then Take The Walk Through The Woods And Along The River Bank, The Walk Follows A Path And Runs Close To A Bridleway So Beware Of The Odd Horse Now And Again, There Are Plenty Of Parking Areas Along The Way Which Are Pay And Display. Right At The Other End Of The Park Close To Botley Is The Farm Which Is Open To The Public And Great For Kids. There Are Toilets, Refreshments And Plenty Of Picnic Areas.

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 2.33 miles Sopwith Way, Swanwick To The Rear Of Nats

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 2.85 miles Knowle Lane Or White Tree Close, Fair Oak

The Hill Netley
This Walk Is On What Was Previously The Old Dump, But Was Made Into A Green Area Over 10 Years Ago. One You Get Up The Hill To The Top It Is Safe For Even The More Hectic Dogs Off Lead. Wooded And Grass Areas With Some Picnic Areas. If It Rains Make Sure You Wear Wellies. Next To What Used To Be A Pub (Dancing Goose I Think) Where You Can Still Park Your Car. The Video Shared Is After It Rained As It Leaves A Huge Puddle The Hounds Love ?? 76 Grange Rd. Netley Southampton SO31 5FH 3.35 miles Near To Bus Stop You Will See The Gates To Go In By The Pub. This Walk Can Be As Long Or Short As You Want.
