Dog walks in the Forest of Dean

Sammy’s Walks: Dog friendly walks in the Forest of Dean fully revised 2024

It’s taken nine months, many miles of walking and checking and cross-checking, but a fully revised edition of Sammy’s Walks is now available!

Sammy’s Walks‘ easy to follow instructions (the reviews all say), little tidbits of history, and lovely images of the Forest have made the book popular since 2013.

It also made Sammy somewhat of a local celebrity, with visitors bumping into us asking to have their photos taken with the bemused pooch!

Sammy sadly passed in May 2022, and this revision is his legacy. A wonderful way to remember him by.

And of course, as one reviewer points out, you don’t need a dog to do the walks.
