Dog Considerations:

- Water: Some small burns or puddles might be present, but it's best to carry fresh water for your dog.
- Wildlife: The woods are home to red squirrels, roe deer, and various bird species. Ensure dogs with a strong prey drive are managed appropriately.
- Dog Bins: May be available at the main car park / castle tearoom area. Limited or absent deeper in the woods. Please take dog waste home if bins are not available.
