Dog Notes:

Puttenham Common in Surrey is extremely popular for dog walking, offering extensive areas for dogs to explore. However, due to the extremely sensitive wildlife (ground-nesting birds like nightjars and woodlarks, adders, rare insects), dogs MUST be kept under very close control, and it is strongly recommended (and often a requirement in SSSIs/SPAs, especially between 1st March and 15th September) to keep them on short leads and on marked paths to protect the fragile ecosystem. Be very aware of adders in warmer months and keep dogs out of dense heather. Please clean up after your dog. Ponds offer paddling, but check safety. This Surrey common requires responsible dog ownership.
