Dog Considerations:
- Leads: Dogs should be on leads when walking through Dale Abbey village, near roads, and in fields where livestock is present. In woodland sections or open fields with no livestock and good visibility, off-lead may be possible if your dog has excellent recall.
- Water: Limited natural water sources on the main loop. Carry water for your dog.
- Wildlife & Livestock: Be mindful of sheep or cattle in fields. Woodland areas may have squirrels and birds.
- Dog Bins: May be limited, especially on rural footpaths. Be prepared to take dog waste home or use bins in the village if available.
- Hazards: Uneven paths, tree roots, stiles. The Hermit's Cave is a small, enclosed space.
