Mousehold Heath is a large local nature reserve on the edge of Norwich, offering heathland, woodland, trails and open grassland spread across more than 180 acres. Dogs are welcome across the outdoor reserve areas and public paths, making it a favourite spot for dog walkers looking for varied terrain close to the city. The reserve is open at all times and offers a network of trails, plus a heritage trail, pitch and putt, footgolf and regular guided walks.
Parking is available at multiple access points around the reserve. It's a sizeable green space with real variety, from open heath to shaded woodland, so there's always somewhere new to sniff.
The reserve is popular with local dog walkers and suits dogs who like a proper ramble without leaving the Norwich area. While the official pages confirm dogs are welcome, detailed rules around leads or restricted zones aren't clearly spelled out, so keep an eye out for any signs on site.
