We unfortunately do not allow dogs on our walks due to them getting frustrated with standing still, slow walking speeds and not getting the true attention they deserve. There are also dangers of them eating poisonous plants and fungi that we are waving around and making look extremely interesting.
LOCATION: The guided walks are based in The South Downs National Park near Midhurst (GU29) The location and how to find the exact area will be emailed to you 2 days prior.
