Dog friendly Pubs in the New Forest I can recommend for you.

Welcome to my dog friendly pubs in the New Forest suggestions. We all love our dogs and pets. We want to share great experiences with them. I live here and love dogs. What I really love about this beautiful UK National Park is that dogs are welcome in so many places and they are generally expected to have been for a good walk and may not be mud free!

A Rottie and her toy tottie! We'll be visiting lots of New Forest pubs now this lovely girl has come into our lives. For research purposes only though!!

The New Forest UK National Park is a fantastic place to live or visit with your dog. There are dangers but if you are careful both you and your dog should be safe, and so should all the animals and wildlife.

I realise that many of you are very aware and possibly scared to bring your beloved dog into the New Forest because of the Alabama Rot or CRGV publicity over the last couple of years. I can only advise you from my personal perspective. I'm continuing to walk in all areas but I'm also careful to check for lesions, lethargy and other published danger signs.

We've recently been able to offer a loving home to this beautiful Rottie. Thanks to theRottweiler Rescue Trust (no website as closed group) and the tremendous hard work, love and kindness that Pete and Shelley and Lorraine and all the volunteers put in, this lovely girl is now part of our family. She looks a bit sad as it's early days but as she settles in and love is combined with boundaries I'm sure there will be smiley faces to share with you.

She's met my New Forest pony and they've discovered a shared love of carrots!

What's also great about the area is that you can decide to remain in the forest and explore ancient woodland or wild open heathland, or head for the coast. It's all on offer for you both. A dog friendly pub in the New Forest is never too far away.

Dog friendly pubs New Forest

The Horse and Groom Woodgreen - dogs are welcome in all areas

The Horse and Groom at Woodgreen welcomes dogs in all areas (nice wooden floors all rooms so easy to sweep the New Forest mud up!) They haven't got a website yet as new owners have recently taken over.

SatNav is SP6 2AS Phone 01725 510739

The food is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and friendly and the village also has a lovely shop. See my Woodgreen Community Shop review.

The Royal Oak Fritham - floors are wooden and easy to mop!

Fritham The Royal Oak (no website) Fritham, Lyndhurst, Fritham, SO43 7HJ Tel: 02380 812606 Right in the heart of the New Forest with lots of lovely walks all around and good, well priced food. If you head down towards Eyeworth Pond you'll encounter mud during winter but if you head off south from the main car park the track stays reasonably easy to walk as its gravel. The Royal Oak expect dogs to be muddy and owners to have muddy boots too. We go here regularly and it never disappoints. You can see my review

The Rockingham Arms in West Wellow - a warm welcome!

We recently visited The Rockingham Arms in West Wellow.  Dogs are very welcome here and can enjoy the scubbed wood floors and lovely decor while their owners enjoy a locally sourced meal and wonderful real ales. After a great meal dog and owner can enjoy a walk across Canada Common which is a bit further up the road and is a beautiful part of the New Forest to explore. Please note due to re-open Weds march 23rd 2016.

Walking with your dog

Now I've shared with you some of my dog friendly pubs in the New Forest suggestions let's get down to having a walk!

Unlike walks in other parts of the countryside you won't encounter stiles or places where you may need to lift your dog over or through. Try lifting a 10 stone Rottie over a series of stiles on the Devon coast path and you know what I mean!

There are areas of bog which are quite deep, I know my son fell in one - goodbye iphone! Please take care and keep your dog under your control at all times.

New Forest ponies, donkeys and cows are usually very laid back but if they have young will always protect them, so please keep your dog close so it doesn't cause danger to itself or New Forest animals.

Easiest dog friendly New Forest walks

The easiest dog friendly New Forest routes and trails are on my suggested cycle route paths. I suggest some routes and trails because they are well surfaced and generally flat and even possible for disabled access too.

You are usually not too far from a little New Forest stream or brook and so the possibility of taking a wet, but happy, dog home too is not unusual. The downside of dog friendly New Forest walking is that this is an area where there is often plenty of mud!

All terrain dog friendly New Forest walks

This sounds a bit like an expedition but the New Forest UK National Park really does offer you wonderful walks to explore with your dog. I love and use the 30 walks in the New Forest book which takes you all over the forest, describing differing ability walks, where to park and location references, timings and distance and lots of maps too.
