Top Spots for Walking Your Dog In Blackheath
If you’re looking for new stimulation for your dog and want to try some different walks, check out these spots.
Blackheath Common
Covering over 250 acres of land, Blackheath common is a great place to take your dog for a walk. With Blackheath Village just a short walk away, you can grab a coffee or a meal and then head out onto the green for the day. There are two car parks available or Blackheath train station is just a short walk away!
Greenwich Park
Greenwich Park requires thoughtful navigation as a dog walking venue, given its distinct zones and seasonal regulations. The lower sections provide excellent opportunities for walks, while the top of the park has a hillier terrain so it’s worth planning where you want to end up! You’ll need to be mindful of the designated deer park areas where leads are mandatory year-round, and during summer months, plan your route to take advantage of the shaded pathways. The early morning tends to offer the most relaxed walking experience, particularly around the flower gardens, though you’ll find the wide avenues near the Maritime Museum suitable for dog walking throughout the day.
