M40 Junction 13 Oakley Woods dog walk, Warwickshire
Description
Calm, peaceful and tranquil walking here with lots of top-class sniffing for dogs! The paths are all clear and well walked. Inside the wood you can sometimes see the earthworks of an ancient fort. Difficult to spot at first but once you've got your eye in it's clear that this was quite a big structure back in the day.
Details
GPS coords for car park: 52.2332, -1.5593 Parking is free, and either the first car park on the entrance land to the crematorium; or a bit further on there's a pull-in. We sometimes use the facilities at the Warwick Services, and grab a sandwich, and then head here for walkies and a picnic.
Walk
Easy-peasy walking on well-defined paths through the trees. Oakley Wood surrounds the crematorium, but don't let this put you off. The paths are well looked after and the woodland is spacious enough for dogs to enjoy a sniff and zooming, but not so large you fear losing the way back. Free parking near the entrance.

Green 45 PointsLovely walk very muddy
Really nice walk. We did the red route in about 50 minutes. But it was very muddy, over the top of walking boots - glad of wellies!
DWD Team: Yes - we've had so much rain!!

Green 32 PointsWe have stopped here twice and have had a lovely walk both times. Good paths, easy parking and really close to the motorway and service station. Will definitely stop here again on our travels.

Great Off-lead Walking
Despite this being within a 15 minute drive of home, we made our first-ever visit to it today, based on the other reviews we've read. Our dog loved it! Lots of tracks to explore and much sniffing to be done. We'll be visiting more regularly from now on.
