DOG WALKING
Most Minstead dog owners will know the New Forest Dog Walking Code which local people have agreed as the code of practice for dog walking throughout the New Forest National Park. It is supported by all the organisations on the New Forest Dogs Forum. Further information can be read here.
The code is summarised on credit card size slips which could be useful for visitors and any dog walker you meet who is not familiar with the special needs of the New Forest. These are available along with car stickers in the Shop.
