Longleat Forest

About this park

Longleat Forest offers a fantastic escape for you and your furry friend, nestled within the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. While the main Longleat Safari Park has restrictions, the surrounding Longleat Forest provides ample opportunities for dog walking, with extensive woodlands and scenic trails to explore. Imagine your pup happily sniffing through the trees, enjoying the fresh air and the sounds of nature. The forest environment is wonderfully peaceful, perfect for a relaxing stroll. Most trails within the wider Longleat Forest are dog-friendly, though please always keep your dog under control, especially around wildlife. You might encounter various birds and other creatures, so a lead is always a good idea to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment. Specific areas within the Centre Parcs site, which is part of the forest, may have differing rules, so it's always best to check their current guidelines if you plan to stray from the main public footpaths. Parking is generally available at various entry points to the wider forest, though locations can vary. It's advisable to check local signage for designated parking areas to avoid any issues. While there might not be dedicated dog-specific facilities directly within the public access parts of the forest, the joy of a good forest walk more than makes up for it. Ensure you bring your own water and waste bags. Longleat Forest provides a truly invigorating experience for dogs and their owners. It's a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourselves in nature, get some exercise, and enjoy the stunning natural beauty of Wiltshire. Just remember to be a responsible dog owner – always pick up after your dog and respect the wildlife and other visitors.
