(Average user rating5 unrated 4.3/5)

This wood is used extensively by horse riders throughout the year so please keep your dog under control at all times.

We have only just started regular walks in Blidworth Forest. It is brilliant so many different ways to walk, so many different smells to sniff and so many nice dogs and people to meet. And the best bit is to round off the walk with a drink and dog sausage at the tea wagon

The tea wagon at Blidworth is second to none! Homemade cakes, great coffee and really friendly staff. It makes a walk with the dog a little bit special!
