All other areas are now operational

I hope you appreciate the improvements!

A website providing:

​A listing of places where you can go walking in New Zealand with your best friend:

• Maps of dog walks across New Zealand, by region, showing the current status of information
• Summaries of walks, including length, configuration, terrain and restrictions (e.g. on or off leash)
• Personal descriptions of the walks with background information 
• Links to further information including brochures and maps
• Additional articles and essays on issues relating to dogs, and where you can walk with them in New Zealand.​

ADDENDA
Note: The site is still under construction (and may never be finished!).  So, try it out - but remember that it's work in progress and many walks are not yet described.

Last updated June 2nd 2023

​I'm aware that information on the following sites may be inaccurate at present:

• Te Arai Point (North Island: The North, site 29)
• Woodside Forest (North Island: The North, site 42)
• Mount Glasgow (South Island, West: site 10)

Dedication

This site is dedicated to the wonderful dogs who have shared walks with us over the years - not just here in New Zealand, but in the UK and other parts of Europe*, as well.​

* because I still believe that the UK is a part of Europe whatever Brexiters may claim.
