- Dog Notes:
Lead Policies: On Lead: Dogs must be kept on a lead on the Noddy Train (land train), in the Hiker Cafe, around any grazing livestock (which can include New Forest ponies in certain areas), on roads, within the Visitor Centre, and on Mudeford Sandbank beach between May 1st and September 30th. Off-Lead: In many other areas, dogs can be exercised off-lead but must be kept under close and effective control. This is especially important due to cliff edges, sensitive wildlife habitats (please keep dogs out of ponds to protect amphibians like Natterjack Toads), and nesting birds, particularly on the heathland.
