Danebury Hill Fort Dog Walk

Danebury Hill Fort Dog Walk

Danebury is an Iron Age Hill Fort close to Stockbridge in Hampshire. It is one of the most excavated and studied Hill Forts in Europe and a designated Ancient Monument. These excavations and studies have established that the Danebury Hill Fort was built circa 2500 years ago and in use for 500 years.

Once at the fort you can follow the well trodden paths and take in the history of the place or head further afield on the network of foot paths that cross the local country side.

The site is managed by Hampshire County Council and they do ask that you follow their dog walking code:

Dog Walking Code

Ensure your dog is under effective control, which means:

• you have a short lead with you and use it when needed
• you do not let your dog off the lead unless you keep it in sight and close enough to come back to you on command

Prevent your dog from approaching horse riders, cyclists, or other people and their dogs uninvited.

Keep your dog with you on paths or access land and don’t let it stray into crops including fields of grass, fruit and vegetables.

Never let your dog worry or chase wildlife or livestock.

Always bag and bin your dog’s poo wherever you are. You can use any public waste bin or your bin at home.

Never leave bags of dog poo lying around, even if you intend to pick them up later.

Ensure your details are on your dog’s collar and it is microchipped, so you can be reunited quickly if it is lost.

Keep your dog’s vaccinations and worming up to date. Ask your vet for more information.

For post walk refreshments Stockbridge offers a great choice of dog friendly cafes and pubs.

We hope you enjoy the Danebury Hill Fort Dog Walk
