Dog Friendly Walks Along The Thames Path
The Thames Path is a great place for dog friendly walks with picturesque scenery and some dog-welcoming pubs along the routes. The reduction of stiles has helped to make the routes much more accessible for your canine friend and with plenty of opportunities for swimming, paddling and running around, the walks get the WOOF WOOF seal of approval.
We hope you and your dog enjoy our dog friendly walks, but please keep your dogs under close control as you may come across livestock or wildife. Don't forget to pick up after your dog, especially around car parks, on paths and where people play or picnic, and take bagged waste home if there is no bin nearby.
