Local Dog Walks

Dover Woods
Mix Of Public Walkways And Bridle Paths. The Paths Are Very Accessible For Wheelchairs But Better For Powered Chairs. The Carpark Isn't The Best Surface But Once In The Estate Its Much Easier And Some Of It Is Road. There Is Live Stock Around, Vehicles Go Through And You Can Sometimes Hear Gunshots But A Lovely Walk. Dogs Will Get Muddy In Winter And My Dog Found Water/Mud Even During Summer. Some Of It Is Flat And Some Of It Is Hilly. Dover Lane Angmering 6.95 miles

Path Into Sandgate Park. Path Is Accessible But Short However It Takes You Down To Water Which Again Is Wheelchair Friendly. Can Do Much Further Walk Into The Woods However That Is Not Accessible. Lots Of Nice Places To Stop For A Picnic And Have Places To Sit Down.

Hollingbury Woods To The Castle
Hollingbury Woods Is A Little Gem In The Fiveways Area Of Brighton. Enter Via A Footpath On Ditchling Road Just Before A Bowls Club And Suddenly Everything Is 100 Times More Peaceful. Stay To The Left Of The Allotments And The Woods Will Take You Up To Hollingbury Golf Course Which Includes An Iron Age Fort 'Hollingbury Castle'. Be Considerate To The Golfers And Don't Amble On The Fairways. On The Way Back You Can Take The Higher Path Nearer The Road, Or The Open Playing Fields. You Might Be Able To Park At The Allotments Side Road, But Don't Bank On It. Hollingbury Park And Woods Ditchling Road Lancashire 8.99 miles

Location what3words loaded.crowds.slip

Arundel Estate
Brilliant Walk For Wheelchair Users. The Path Is A Road Therefore Great For Wheelchairs. Public Can Walk Along It Or On The Grass. The Road Is Used But Not Often, Only By People Who Live On The Estate Who Are Obviously Aware. Dogs Can Be Off Lead Until You Reach A Closed Gate Where The Sheep Graze. They Get Moved So Sometimes You Might Not Be Able To Walk As Far With Your Dog However Sheep Are Fenced Off. For People Who Can Walk, You Can Continue In And Walk Down To Swanbourne Lake. The Solid Path Has A Steady Incline But Incredible Views. London Road Lancashire 10.27 miles Near Arundel Cricket Ground
