Beaulieu B
County: Hampshire
Difficulty: Easy

From Beaulieu village in the heart of the New Forest along the river to the famous Bucklers Hard and back to the village through the woods. Beautiful views of the river and boats. The dogs love it and enjoy a good swim!

Portsmouth Seafront
County: Hampshire
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: Up to 30 minutes
Wheelchair Friendly: No
I love taking my Boston Terrier, Rocco, along the sea front from Old Portsmouth to Eastney. It's an easy walk, as long as you don't mind the pebbles, and it's really nice to be able to look out into the Solent and see the Spithead forts and across to the Isle of Wight. There aren't that many places to walk your dog in Portsmouth, but this is a really good one.

Southampton Common
County: Hampshire
Difficulty: Easy
Duration: 30 minutes to 1 hour
Wheelchair Friendly: Yes
The huge 326 acre Common, just a short walk from the city centre, is a haven for flora and fauna and has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Hawthorns Urban Wildlife Centre, based on The Common, gives visitors the opportunity to learn about the local ecology and wildlife. The rest of the Common is home to an abandoned racecourse and the site of the gallows, the Victorian lake and the country's deepest artesian well.
