Dog Notes:

Whitlingham Country Park in Norfolk is extremely popular for dog walking, and dogs are very welcome. There are good paths for on-lead walks, and some open areas where dogs might be exercised off-lead, but ensure good control, especially near the water's edge (to protect waterfowl and for safety), in busy areas around the visitor centre, and when other park users like cyclists or families are present. Dog waste bins are widely available throughout this Norfolk park. Please clean up after your dog. Be mindful of any notices regarding blue-green algae in the lake at certain times of year, which can be harmful to dogs if they ingest the water.
