Local Dog Walks

Sandgate Park
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. Path Would Be Suitable For Powered And Manual Wheelchairs In Winter 2 Hillside Rd Storrington Pulborough RH20 3LZ 1.80 miles Easiest Place For Accessible Parking Is Hillside Road

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 7.60 miles

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 8.30 miles Near Arundel Cricket Ground
