- Dog Notes:
Itchen Valley Country Park in Hampshire is extremely popular for dog walking, and dogs are very welcome. There are extensive areas for off-lead exercise throughout the woodlands and meadows, but dogs should be kept under control, especially near play areas, the River Itchen (be cautious if your dog swims, as currents can vary), and when other park users or cyclists are present. Some specific areas, like around the visitor centre or certain conservation zones, may request dogs on leads – always check local signage. Dog waste bins are widely available throughout this Hampshire park. Please clean up after your dog. The cafe often has dog-friendly outdoor seating and water bowls.
