A small but outstanding nature reserve where a mix of peat bog and sand form a unique environment in which native, but now rare, dragonflies, frogs and birds can find sanctuary.
Several walks to choose from here - all good for dogs - and a really interesting place to visit as well.
What an amazing piece of living archaeology has been re-created here - it's the garden of a Roman villa that has been brought back to life.
This is a lovely walk on a lakeside path, with shade from the trees in hot weather (or cover from the rain).
A chance to take a break from the driving and get lungfuls of clean forest air. This is a quiet and peaceful forest, with plenty of space for dogs to have a good dash around.
Easily reached from Boulogne, the market town of Desvres is worth a visit before or after a dog walk in the forest.
A peaceful dog walk on forest tracks with a circular route to follow if you wish. It's just as easy to gently potter and let the dogs enjoy their sniffing and a safe off-lead run.
Excellent place to stop with the dog for swimming and a walk on the A82 southbound. Free parking, campervan/motorhome overnight parking and clean toilets.
The pup adored her walkies here. It's a quiet woodland with a variety of trees and foliage, and an easy path to follow. After a few hours on the beach earlier on this was heaven for doggie paws.
Dogs will love this unspoiled common land and the birdsong is a treat to hear.
A National Trust countryside park with unusually good facilities for dogs. Walks by the river are suitable for off-lead dog walking, and there's even a doggie cafe under cover for wet days.
Once an industrialist's palace, the house has long since decayed and the glorious gardens are open to all to enjoy.
