Enjoy a Hot Chocolate or whatever you fancy with your dog!The Pawfect Pad Review
Doggy Directory The Pawfect Pad loved this walk and this is what they said: "We followed the coastal path around the harbour (from the Ship and Trades pub), through a park, with an off lead area for dogs! (I would say totally secure if your dog isn't a jumper) followed back along the harbour with a view of Upnor Castle and it leads you back to Dockside. Oh and it's totally buggy/wheelchair friendly" - thank you The Pawfect Pad glad you enjoyed it!
Dog-friendly Cafe Bueno
Thank you to Lorraine Johns of The Bark Park of Higham for the Cafe Bueno recommendation, a dog-friendly coffee stop with lots of doggy treats, just before the bridge
This walk has lead walking and the opportunity for off lead in the dog run area with gorgeous views and good terrain for a muddy day. Hope you enjoyed it and thank you again to Little Paws for the amazing pictures, a picture speaks a thousand words!
