The diverse terrain and peaceful ambience of the forest in Dorset offer dog walkers to immerse themselves in the rural landscape here in the southwest of England. The forest paths are perfect for a winter dog walk, allowing your pet to roam amidst the tall trees and crisp winter air. Please make sure to keep your dog on a leash, as this will help protect the local wildlife (such as wild ponies) and maintain a safe environment for all.
