Dog Considerations:
- Leads: Capstone Farm Country Park is very dog-friendly. Large areas, including meadows and woodlands, are excellent for off-lead exercise, provided dogs are kept under good control and responsive to recall. Dogs should be on leads near the visitor centre, cafe, children's play areas, and any livestock enclosures (if present).
- Water: The park has a fishing lake; assess suitability before allowing dogs to drink or swim. Some streams or boggy areas might exist in woodlands. Always best to carry fresh water.
- Wildlife: The park supports varied birdlife, squirrels, and other small mammals. Ensure dogs do not chase or disturb wildlife.
- Dog Bins: Plentifully available throughout the park, especially near main paths and entrances.
- Hazards: Horse riders use some bridleway sections – be aware. The lake is deep in places.
