Leave no trace. Take all your litter with you, including dog poop!

Always keep your pooches in sight and under control or on a lead.

Be friendly and say hello to fellow countryside users.

Stick to the paths and close gates behind you and your pooches.

Be extra cautious if your pooches are near any livestock, giving them as much space as possible.
