This is ideal dog walking country and there is plenty of space for doggy romping around the copses and grassland.
Starting from the car park are trails of varying lengths either through woodland or by a lake. The paths are surfaced, so these are dog-walks for all weathers and shoes.
This is a lovely place to mooch with the pooch in a nature reserve within a couple of miles of Junction 12 on the M6.
This is a truly rural walk, and a surprising contrast to the busy motorway and M4 service station you will leave behind.
There's a definite northerly feel to the air up here, and even in summer this walk on Public Footpaths feels cool - if not chilly. Dog swimming is possible in the stream at the foot of the hill.
This is a fine all-weather walk on a hard surface path around the lake, with easy access for buggies and wheelchair users.
Dogs and heritage buffs will both love this 30-40 minute walk to the castle and back. Explanation boards along the way explain the background, including an interesting Polish connection.

When walking on a Beacon it's clear that the walking won't be flat, and that good views are guaranteed.
Very easy to follow circular dog walk on a Public Footpath around a reservoir, with fields and an old railway line too. The walk is a good one - and the pub is dog-friendly.
