Dog with owner at tidal site.
It’s really important that people have access to nature reserves, including those who want to walk their dogs in the countryside. That’s why most of our reserves are dog friendly. The only exception is where dogs may be a detrimental impact on wildlife, to other visitors or where it would create a health and safety hazard.
Many of our nature reserves are perfect for walking your dog, however, some of our favourites include Bluebell Hill, Darland Banks, Hothfield Heathland, Sandwich and Pegwell Bay. All of these reserves provide the perfect landscape to stretch your legs, whilst providing landscapes that will delight your furry friends.
So embrace your wild side this summer, take your best friend out for a walk and enjoy the Kentish sun while you’re at it.
