- Dog Notes:
The Rodwell Trail in Dorset is very suitable and popular for dog walking. The wide, flat paths are comfortable for dogs. It is generally advisable to keep dogs on a lead or under close control, especially as it's a shared-use path popular with cyclists and can be busy with pedestrians. Please clean up after your dog; bins are often available at access points or along the trail. Some nearby beaches in Weymouth or Portland may have seasonal dog restrictions, so check local signage if venturing off the trail onto the shore. This Dorset trail is a great dog-walking route.
