Trail Reviews

Doggy Dawdles
June 22, 2024, Potter around Pennington Flash

This circular walk is around 5km and flat. The only negative it that a couple if times you have to leave the park and wander along the road, so dogs on leads, but otherwise its pretty doggy friendly. There a nice cafe in the park too. Parking is around £2.50.

Me and my Dad really enjoyed this walk at Pennington Flash Nature Reserve. It's a birdwatchers dream, so my dad had a lot of bird spotting along the way!

Nature is the best therapy! After a hectic week, I decided to slow down (literally) and take in every step of this trail with the mini. We soaked up the sun, listened to the birds, watched the cows & spent an hour mindfully in nature on this lovely local circular walk. Car park is £2.50 for the day, there's also a cafe and children's play area en route.
