Dogs must be on leads at all times except on the designated paths.

Clean up after your dog – bins are provided
 

You are very welcome to walk with your dog on the Down.  For the enjoyment of everyone who visits Magog Down and because this lovely place is widely used for recreation and is an area of conservation your dog must be walked on a lead at all times except in some designated areas.

Fair Field is the fenced an area specifically made available for exercising dogs off lead. A number of dog owners meet there regularly and many friendships have been formed. We would anticipate that everyone who uses it will also become a Friend of Magog Down and help make a dog walking experience a joy for dogs, owners and all visitors to the site.

If you would like to help spread the word about being a responsible dog walker on Magog Down by becoming a volunteer Dog Warden, please contact us.

The area put aside for off-lead dog walking is clearly marked and in the main follows the perimeter of the site. There is no guarantee that this area is kept secure at all times for dogs of all sizes. In particular the path bordering the adjacent land at the bottom of the site is not fenced.

Dog owners ARE responsible for their dogs at all times. As a general rule, keep your dog on a lead if you cannot rely on its obedience.

Our policy towards owners walking dogs on Magog Down is to consistently follow the advice of the Countryside Commission which advises dog owners.

Bins for dog waste are provided and do remember it is an offence not to clear up after your dog. The bins are emptied, twice weekly, by Whoopsie Daisy on a contract to Magog Down. The position of these bins is marked on the map on the Main Noticeboard.
