Dog Notes:

Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens in Kent are popular for dog walking. Dogs are welcome but should generally be kept on leads, especially in the more formal garden areas, near the lakes with their abundant waterfowl (to avoid disturbance), close to children's play areas, and when other park users are present.

Please clean up after your dog when visiting these Kent parks. They offer lovely on-lead strolls in beautiful surroundings.
