West Sussex: A Dog Walker`s Guide
A leisurely stroll in the countryside is always a pleasure for dog walkers. But after leaving the familiar local routes there are always the worries of suddenly finding a field full of sheep, or a busy road, not to mention the difficulty of knowing which pubs and cafes will welcome dogs. Here is a collection of 20 tried and tested circular walks with plenty of opportunities for dogs to roam safely off lead. The routes vary in length from 2 to 6 miles and provide a great introduction for dogs and their owners to the superb landscape of West Sussex; exploring the high chalk grasslands of the South Downs; ancient woodland in the Low Weald; and scenic routes by the Ardingly Reservoir. There are plenty of opportunities for dogs to roam safely off lead in St Leonard`s Forest, Houghton Forest or Hammonds Wood. Or for dogs who love water there are bracing walks by the coast, along the river Adur and the Wey and Arun Canal.
