Dog Notes:

Greenham Common in Berkshire is extremely popular for dog walking, offering vast open spaces for dogs to run and explore. Dogs can often be off-lead in many areas, but ensure good recall due to the sheer size of the common, potential for grazing livestock (ponies and cattle are used for conservation grazing in fenced and unfenced areas – heed all signage and keep dogs on leads near them), and sensitive wildlife (ground-nesting birds). Please clean up after your dog; bins are usually provided at main car parks. This Berkshire common is a dog walker's paradise with responsible ownership.
