Dogs are welcome, but are entirely the owner's responsibility and must have a lead and be under close control at all times.
If encountering livestock do not walk too close or get between a cow and calf. If threatened, let go of your dog so it can escape and reduce the risk to yourself.
Please keep to public rights of way and respect landowner’s property.
