Search the map, Find a walk, Get out there and start exploring!
Our Map shows an ever growing number of dog walk locations from small local parks to large country parks and coastal walks all throughout Kent and beyond.
Click on one of the paw icon’s and a pop up window will show you the address, facilities available, a brief description and a ‘Get directions’ link. If the location has been reviewed or more information is available then a ‘More details’ link will also be shown.
The paw icons are plotted on the map at the most suitable car parking location so when using the ‘Get directions’ link you end up at a carpark and not a field.
Any Markers that have been generated by vistors to ‘Out With The Dog’ are highlighted with a white paw inside the relevant coloured circle.
Use your mouse to Zoom in and out and move around the map to find a walk near you
or
Enter your location or postcode in the box below to search a particular area.
All dogs are different so when visiting any of the walk locations please be sensible and use your own judgement and observe signs as to whether it is suitable for your dog and whether your dog should or can be let off lead. Please also be responsible and always pick up after your dog.
