- Dog Notes:
Snelsmore Common in Berkshire is a popular place for dog walking. However, due to the extremely sensitive wildlife (ground-nesting birds, adders, grazing livestock for conservation), dogs MUST be kept on a lead in the areas designated as on-lead and on marked paths. However, there are off-lead sections and routes which are well sign-posted. Please clean up after your dog; bins are provided. Be aware of adders in warmer months and keep dogs out of dense heather.
