- Dog Notes:
Heartwood Forest in Hertfordshire is extremely popular for dog walking, and dogs are very welcome. There are extensive areas for off-lead exercise throughout the woodlands and meadows, but dogs should be kept under control, especially as the site is managed for wildlife, near any young tree planting areas, and when other park users (including families, cyclists, and horse riders on permitted routes) are present. Dog waste bins are usually provided at main entrances/car parks. Please clean up after your dog. This Hertfordshire forest is a great place for dogs to explore.
