Dog Notes:

Off-Lead Opportunities: While much of the commons can be enjoyed off-lead, please be vigilant for signage, especially during bird nesting season (typically March-July) and when livestock (cattle may be grazing) are present. Always ensure your dog has good recall.

Doggy Considerations:

  • Livestock: Cattle often graze on Cookham Moor and Cock Marsh. Please keep your dog on a lead and under close control when livestock are present.
  • Water Safety: If your dog enjoys a swim, be aware of the river currents and boat traffic. Only allow them to enter the water where it is safe to do so.
  • Dog Bins: Dog waste bins are available in some locations, but it's always best to come prepared with your own poo bags and be ready to take them home if necessary.
  • Refreshments: Several dog-friendly pubs can be found in Cookham village and nearby, such as The Bounty at Cock Marsh (seasonal opening) or the Spade Oak pub, perfect for a post-walk treat for both you and your companion. It's advisable to check their current dog policies before visiting.
