Crickley Hill Country Park

About this park

Crickley Hill Country Park in Gloucester offers fantastic walks with your furry friend, boasting spectacular panoramic views across the Gloucestershire countryside. It's a wonderful spot to stretch both human and canine legs, though it's important to be mindful of the park's 'pawprint' system, especially during prime wildlife breeding season. From March to July, special 'red paw print' zones require dogs to be kept on a lead to protect vulnerable wildlife like nesting skylarks. However, there are also 'green paw print' areas where your dog can enjoy a good run off-lead, allowing them to truly revel in the open spaces. Always keep an eye out for the signage to ensure you're following the park's guidelines and helping to protect the local ecosystem. For your convenience, water bowls are available at the café area to quench your dog's thirst after an energetic stroll. You'll also find dog waste bins strategically located around the visitor car parks, making it easy to keep the park tidy. Crickley Hill is rated as a 'one pawprint' place, which means facilities are a bit limited, but it's still a very welcoming spot for dogs, with plenty of room to roam, albeit with some seasonal lead restrictions. Remember to always keep your dog under close control and pick up after them to ensure everyone has a pleasant visit. Parking is available, and while there's no mention of specific dog-washing facilities, the essential amenities like waste bins and water are provided. It's a truly picturesque location that offers a rewarding day out for you and your canine companion, with stunning scenery as your backdrop.
