A glorious 2-mile there-and-back short walk beside a sparkling river. It's dogs delight for swimming, or just a paw-wash at the end to clean the dog off in muddy weather.
Turn right off Brock Mill Lane to find Brock Valley Picnic Site and a free car park. A notice board has details of all the walks available.
Redditch has a bit of an off-putting road system, but it's worth trusting your satnav to get you to this linear country park for a break.
Dog friendly beach, with restrictions in two areas during the summer.
Large park with space for dogs to free run, including through the woods, has small stream suitable for drinking/paddling

Wonderful woodland and meadow walks.
Grand dog walking space, with lots of paths and pure doggy delight.
A nature reserve within sniff and sound of the sea, and lots of grass for sand-sore doggie paws. It's close to the A16 and the start of the coast road heading south.

One of the better southbound motorway services for dogs, with a reasonable amount of grass and also a small lake. A useful stop for caravans needing easy parking.
