- Dog Notes:
Walking dogs on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire requires extreme caution and strict adherence to rules. Due to military training, there can be sudden loud noises and unseen hazards (including the very small risk of unexploded ordnance, though public paths are generally clear). Dogs MUST be kept on short leads and under very close control at all times. Stick strictly to marked public rights of way and never enter areas where red flags are flying or access is prohibited. Be aware of livestock grazing and MOD bylaws. It is often advised to avoid walking dogs in or near active training areas. Check MOD access information very carefully before taking your dog onto this Wiltshire plain.
