- Dog Notes:
Hurstwood Reservoir and the surrounding woodlands in Lancashire are very popular for dog walking, offering plenty of varied terrain and interesting scents for dogs to explore. Dogs can often be off-lead in many woodland areas, but ensure they are kept under good control, especially near the reservoir's edge (to avoid disturbing wildlife or entering the water if not permitted – check local United Utilities or council bylaws) and when other walkers or livestock (if present on nearby moorland) are around. Please clean up after your dog. The reservoir water is deep and cold; supervise dogs closely if they swim. This Lancashire location is a great spot for a dog walk.
