There Are Lots Of Dog Walkers In The Area, But If You Want To Avoid Them It's Easy Because There Are So Many Paths You Can Just Change Direction. Most Dogs &Amp; Owners Are Friendly &Amp; Ours Loves To Run Around With Doggy Friends. A Couple Of Times We've Met Horses, But You Can Usually Spot Them In Plenty Of Time To Get Your Dog On The Lead.
