Dogs are welcome everywhere at Foremark. Please keep dogs on short leads around the visitor facilities, playground or near livestock, and under close control at all times.
There is plenty of outdoor seating at the refreshments kiosk where you’re welcome to sit and enjoy refreshments with your dog.
Please bear in mind that the Bridleway is a multi-use route, which is often used by horse riders. Because of this, we ask that you keep your pooch on a lead along this route to ensure everyone has an enjoyable visit. This includes the nearby woodland, where dogs might then run onto the Bridleway.
Our definition of close or effective control is:
Dogs are not allowed in the water at Foremark. Reservoirs contain unseen dangers beneath the water and the presence of blue green algae can be dangerous for dogs and people.
There are water bowls at the kiosk to keep your dog refreshed, and dog waste bins can be found near the bridleway and at the start of the way-marked paths. Please remember to bring plenty of poo bags with you.
