- Dog Notes:
Shearwater Lake and the surrounding woodlands in Wiltshire are extremely popular for dog walking, offering plenty of varied terrain and interesting scents. Dogs can often be off-lead in many woodland areas, but ensure good recall due to wildlife (deer are sometimes present), proximity to the lake (be cautious if your dog swims, and respect anglers/boaters), and other walkers. Please clean up after your dog; bins are usually provided at the car park. The lake offers paddling for dogs, but check for any specific restrictions. This Wiltshire spot is a dog walker's paradise.
