Dog Considerations:
- Leads: Blidworth Woods is very popular for dog walking. Off-lead exercise is common throughout most of the forest, provided dogs are kept under good control and do not worry wildlife or interfere with other users (including cyclists and horse riders on designated routes).
- Water: Some ditches or puddles may be present, but it's best to carry fresh water for your dog, especially on longer walks or warmer days.
- Wildlife: The forest is home to deer, squirrels, and various bird species. Ensure dogs with a high prey drive are managed appropriately.
- Dog Bins: May be available at the main car park/visitor area. Limited or absent deeper in the woods, so be prepared to take dog waste home.
- Hazards: Cyclists and horse riders may use some of the main tracks. Uneven ground and tree roots on smaller paths.
