Forest Of Bere

This is a great walk but I suggest you park at the other side of the wood (westwalk) which is off heath road and a lot quieter. When you get in the forest, don't just stick to the circular walk, take time to discover all the other paths and tracks that shoot off here and there, although you may need wellies! We also found a superb dog friendly pub on they way home, The Hunters Inn at Swanmore, dog friendly throughout and excellent food!

We love this walk, West Walk is our favourite - paths are pushchair friendly if you don't mind a bit of a workout up a hill back towards the car park and childrens play areas. The parking charge there is £1.50 for 2 hours and £3 all day I believe. This car park off Hundred Acre Road, there are toliets here. We go a lot during the week, it is very busy at weekends, the refreshment van is only there at weekends I think. I have never parked in the other car park on Heath Road - may explore that - thank you Pete, Lyn & Alfie!

Storm & Rubys favourite walk. We visit at least a few times per week. Usually early morning, we like to start early. Lovely time of day and no buggies. Car park is now £1.80 for up to two hours, season tickets (£38) available at: Link → Lots of off lead time especially if you get there early, late or during school term. The food/drink van is there at weekends and also weekdays during the holidays. Car park always open by 7am and closes at 4, 6 or 8pm dependant on the time of year. Main part of the day during holidays, like yesterday gets busy. Car park, including overspill and the road outside completely full yesterday. Never seen so many picnickers, literally hundreds. Fortunately not normally like that. Still got off lead time though as we know the place like the back of our hands and paws. Always take a towel. A great walk with lots of options.

I know this is a long shot but worth it anyway.... my friends much loved and missed family dog ran away whilst with the dog walker yesturday morning 27/08/2017...... could you please please keep an eye out she still has harness and lead on and is called pearl she is a light brown small dog with dark brown/black tips to her ears and around her nose and mouth.... please email Link → if you find or think u have found her. Thankyou

Great off lead walking, lots of forest to explore, bring my dogs here all the time

Lovely walks, can be short or long whatever you make of it! Lots of different woodland tracks to choose.

Really great walk our dog lovers it going again for sure !

Nice place to walk but it gets ever so busy at peak times so we tend to only go in Winter time/during middle of day when schools are on!
