Weald Country Park

About this park

Weald Country Park in Brentwood, Essex, offers a fantastic day out for dogs and their owners across 520 acres of diverse landscape. Famous for its deer park and the enchanting Stick Man trail, the park boasts spectacular views across woodlands, wildflower meadows, and open grassland, providing ample space for dogs to explore and enjoy. While dogs are welcome throughout the park, visitors should be mindful of designated areas and follow signage, especially near the deer enclosure and any areas with grazing livestock like the native red poll cattle during summer months. The park's varied terrain means there are numerous walking opportunities, from gentle strolls around the lake to more extensive hikes through the woods. For those looking for amenities, Weald Country Park has a cafe, The Wiggly Bush, which offers refreshments (check for temporary closures and opening times). There are also toilets available. Parking is charged and can be paid via MiPermit app, website, or contactless onsite machines. An annual 'Explorer Pass' is also available for frequent visitors, offering savings across multiple Essex Country Parks. Money from parking is reinvested into the park's maintenance and wildlife protection. The park is equipped with various features to enhance your visit, including waste bins for dog litter. While there isn't a dedicated fenced dog area, the vast open spaces allow for plenty of off-lead exercise where appropriate. For families, the park also features a children's play area and the popular Stick Man Sculpture Trail, which provides an engaging walk for all ages. Picnics are allowed, making it a perfect spot to spend a full day outdoors. Please note that BBQs are not permitted for safety reasons.
