Rushmere Country Park

About this park

Rushmere Country Park, located near Leighton Buzzard, is a fantastic spot for you and your furry friend to explore! This expansive park, managed by The Greensand Trust, offers a diverse landscape with woodland trails, open spaces, and even a lovely pond, providing plenty of interesting sights and smells for your dog. Keep an eye out for the charming fairy doors and the Giant's Chair along the Sculpture Trail—it's a delightful touch for the humans too! Dog walkers are warmly welcomed at Rushmere, with designated areas where your canine companion can enjoy some off-lead adventuring. They even have a specific 'dog fun area' for them to burn off some extra energy, which is a lovely bonus. Do be mindful of wildlife, particularly during nesting seasons, and always ensure your dog is under control. There are also specific rules about where dogs need to be on leads, especially around high-traffic visitor areas or sensitive habitats. Parking is readily available, though there are charges, which contribute to the park's upkeep. It's advisable to check the Greensand Trust website for current pricing and opening times. You'll find excellent facilities here, including a café, perfect for a cuppa and a treat after your walk, and clean toilets. The park is a popular destination, so it's always a good idea to arrive early during peak times to secure a spot and avoid the rush.
