Bacton Wood, Norfolk

These woods have been here since Anglo Saxon times and are a tranquil place to get away from it all. Dogs will love it.

Blickling Hall, Norfolk

Enjoy the extensive parkland, lake and woods at the former stately home of the Lothians. This was the former site of the Boleyn's home, and the ghost of Anne Boleyn is said to be wandering around with a suitably headless retinue, but only on the anniversary of her execution.

Chalkney Wood, Essex

Everything here to please the bounding hound.  Easy to follow paths and free parking too.

The serried rows of conifers are changing to broad leaf trees as part of the Forestry Commission's regeneration plan - and it's looking better every year.
