Wisley

This is a lovely (non-circular) pub walk in Wisley, Surrey (just 30 min outside of London). The walk is off-lead mostly, just put your dog on a leash whenever you see a golf course. The walk has tons of shade on those hot summer days, clean water for those swimmers, and fields to run. Be wary of geese and swan.

I suggest parking at The Anchor, Pyrford. Turn left by the bridge and start your walk there. Keep going and follow the paths, you will eventually reach a gorgeous common with streams and fields. You’ll see tons of other dogs enjoying a walk. In the summer, you can also try your luck in booking Walkies at Wisley (at the RHS Garden Wisley) for some gorgeous, on-lead floral walks.

SHADE? Yes, tons! It’s mostly woodland, unless you hang out in the fields around the common.
