- Dog Notes:
Shotover Country Park in Oxfordshire is extremely popular for dog walking, with extensive areas of woodland and heathland for dogs to explore. Dogs can often be off-lead in many areas, but ensure they have good recall and are kept under control, as wildlife (including deer) is present, paths can be steep, and other walkers, cyclists, or horse riders use the park. Be mindful of grazing livestock if present in any fenced conservation areas (though less common in the main park). Please clean up after your dog; bins are often provided at main entrances or car parks. This Oxfordshire park is a dog walker's paradise, offering great exercise and stimulation.
