Pegwell Bay Country Park

Pegwell Bay Country Park near Ramsgate is a brilliant pick for dogs who prefer their days out with big skies, open paths and plenty of serious sniffing opportunities. This wide, scenic country park is known for its sweeping coastal views, walking routes and bird-rich landscape, making it ideal for a slower ramble or a proper leg-stretching adventure.

Dogs are welcome here, with leads needed in the car park and close control important across the nature-sensitive areas. The park's mix of coastal paths and open ground gives outdoorsy pairs plenty of room to explore while respecting the wildlife-rich surroundings.

It's a good one for dogs who like their walks wild but sensible, with enough space and scenery to keep both paws and people happily occupied for a proper stretch of the day.
