Dog Walking in Bournemouth
Are you a dog walker in Bournemouth wanting to find somewhere new to explore with your furry friend? Well here are a few of our favourites:
Bournemouth Beach
What pup doesn’t love racing around on a sandy beach? Bournemouth Beach is free for dogs to run around all year round, although some parts of the beach don’t allow dogs in the summer period. There are still plenty of areas to stretch those legs and cool off with a swim in the sea.
Hengistbury Head
This historic headland is a lovely place to walk a dog in Bournemouth, with views of Christchurch Harbour and Bournemouth Beach after hiking up to the top. It is also home to one of the oldest natural forests in the UK. If it’s a sunny day, be sure to pack a picnic, but do be careful when walking your dog near the cliff edge.
Queens Park
One of the largest parks in Bournemouth, and home to Queen’s Park Golf Course, this is a great place to go for quick dog walks in Bournemouth filled with plenty of games of fetch and frisbee.
