Dog-Friendly Pointers:
- Under Control: As always, ensure your dog is under reliable voice control, especially due to the presence of other walkers, cyclists, horse riders, and wildlife.
- Cyclists & Horse Riders: The area is very popular with mountain bikers and horse riders. Be aware of shared paths and ensure your dog doesn't chase or get in their way. It's wise to call your dog back when you see or hear others approaching.
- Wildlife: Deer, foxes, badgers, and various bird species inhabit the area. Keep dogs from disturbing wildlife. During spring and summer, be mindful of ground-nesting birds on heathland areas and keep dogs to paths.
- Livestock: While not widespread directly on all Pitch Hill paths, grazing can occur in parts of the Surrey Hills for conservation purposes. Always be prepared to put your dog on a lead if livestock are present.
- Dog Bins: Limited availability. Be prepared to carry poo bags and take your dog's waste home if bins are not immediately available, adhering to the "leave no trace" countryside code.
- Water: Carry fresh water for your dog, especially on warmer days or for longer walks, as natural water sources may be scarce or unreliable.
