- Dog Notes:
West Stow Forest in Suffolk is an excellent and very popular place for dog walking, with plenty of space and interesting scents 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, and other walkers, cyclists, or horse riders may use some of the paths. Be mindful of any forestry operations. Always clean up after your dog. Remember to bring water, particularly for longer walks through this extensive Suffolk forest. The adjacent West Stow Country Park has specific dog rules, often requiring leads in certain areas.
