5. Rendlesham Forest<br />

Tangham IP12 3NF<br />

Just a short distance from Woodbridge, one of the most dog friendly<br />

towns in the region, Rendlesham has a variety of walking routes. I<br />

would recommend walking your dog around the trail which takes<br />

its name from the famous 1980 Rendlesham UFO incident. The well<br />

sign posted walking trails cross over cycling paths in places so you<br />

do need to take care if your dog loves to chase.<br />

6. Cranfield<br />

Lodge Road, Cranfield, Bedford MK43 0BD<br />

A true local treasure set in a quiet location away from the main<br />

roads. The walk is located off Lodge Road taking you through tree<br />

lined hard standing paths which look down towards Marston Thrift.<br />

There’s been lots of trees planted recently and two ponds providing<br />

a nice spot to sit and take in the tranquillity before tackling the hill<br />

on the return journey.<br />

7. Walberswick<br />

Ferry Road, Walberswick IP18 6UA<br />

If you’re a fan of sandy beaches and crabbing this is the walk<br />

for you. The best news is that on Walberswick beach, dogs are<br />

permitted all year round. Spend the day on the sandy dunes or<br />

take your dog to the nature reserve. The car park is conveniently<br />

situated right on the beach and the coastal path is clearly marked.<br />

8. Dedham<br />

Dedham Road, Dedham CO7 6DH<br />

Away from the popular tourist destination of the Mill, amble around<br />

the Essex Way Walk which passes through the picturesque fields of<br />

Dedham Vale and the Stour Valley. There are horses in some of the<br />

fields so make sure your dog is ok with them. It’s easy to see why<br />

Constable loved this part of the region so much.<br />

9. Shingle Street<br />

Woodbridge IP12 3BE<br />

This dog walk is a hidden gem which you wouldn’t necessarily know<br />

about unless you live locally. Shingle Street as the name would<br />

suggest is a shingle beach which benefits from being dog-friendly<br />

all year round. Get there early to nab the best parking spot close<br />

to the beach. A word of caution though, allowing your dog to swim<br />

in the sea is not recommended as there are strong undercurrents.<br />

10. Stoke Hammond<br />

Leighton Road, Milton Keynes MK17 9DD<br />

The final walk is a canal route starting from the Three Locks pub,<br />

which is dog friendly of course. You have two options; walk towards<br />

Stoke Hammond in one direction or head towards Linslade.<br />

Both are equally beautiful walks and are busy with canal boats<br />

throughout the year.<br />
