Author Review

This is a great walk, lots of off lead opportunities, we have seen deer on the route so be mindful of your dogs that have a high prey drive. It works its way over fields and farmland and then up to Whichford Woods, down a lane and then back along the footpathed main road in Long Compton back to the pub. This route and the woods is particularly wonderful in the spring when the woods fills with Bluebells. The pub also sells a dog snack menu as well and has a huge beer garden at the rear of the pub. Keep an eye on our socials because this will be a reasonably regular group walk area, so if you missed this one and want to join the next all the details will be on there.
