Dog Notes:

Magog Down in Cambridgeshire is extremely popular for dog walking, and dogs are very welcome. There are extensive areas for off-lead exercise across the open downland and in some wooded areas. However, dogs should be kept under control, especially as the area is popular with families, runners, and other walkers, and to protect wildlife. Sometimes livestock (sheep) may be used for conservation grazing in fenced areas – keep dogs on leads near them. Dog waste bins are usually provided at car parks/main entrances. Please clean up after your dog. This Cambridgeshire location is a dog walker's haven.
