As the name suggests Queendown Warren gets its name from a rabbit warren on the site and dates way back to medieval times. The area is made up of chalk grassland, fields and woods so there is something for every dog and their walker. Dependant on your time constraints you can take a stroll around the nature reserve or for a longer walk head out across the fields with a map in hand and explore the area.
Below is information on a circular walk which takes around 1 hour and has no overly steep paths although all the paths are single track, unmade and uneven. The reserve is all fenced so might prevent your dog making a quick escape but cannot be guarenteed to be totally dog proof. The area is surrounded by country lanes which are fairly quiet but the main road to the resevere (Matts Hill Lane) tends to be the busier.

Secluded walk across sloped chalked grassland. Fully fenced and secure for most dogs.
Just to let you know, the car park is no longer free, sadly. People do park for free a bit further up the road by the junction between Matts Hill Lane and Warren lane, but there is barely room for 3 cars.
