Dogs love to sniff and explore, so we walk our dogs in many different places. If you want to take your dog for a walk, here are some of the places we recommend!

 

Canvey Heights Country Park

Large open fields, great for retrieving and playing. The entrance is near Kings Caravan Park, simply follow the road and there is a small car park near the lake.

Canvey Beach

This part of Canvey Beach allows dogs all times of the year. On the map below is a small car park, where we set off from. The beach is great for allowing dogs to swim, retrieve, and play in the water!

Sweyne Park

Along Downhall Park Way there is a small car park that grants access to this walk. With lots of fields and routes to explore, we love taking our dogs here.

Overton Park

Overton is a small enclosed field, and so is great for letting puppies and dogs off lead for the first time. There is no car park here, but there is access to the field at Overton Drive, Seamore Close, and Rushbotttom Lane.

Benfleet Path

Benfleet Path is along the edge of Two tree Island, and is great for nervous owners and dogs, as you can see everything around. It is also a nice quiet walk, with water and farmland. If you want to join us on this walk, we meet in the car park on the bend (shown by the pin below!) – don’t cross over the bridge!

Westwood

Westwood is a woody route, with water, trees, and squirrels! There is lots to sniff and smell here, and a fun place to explore. We meet on Westbourne Close, but please be aware there is no car park and this is a residential road.

Woodside

Woodside is a lovely walk, with four fields, some woods, and a lake. We start our walk just near the Benfleet Cricket & Social Club and park in the small car park opposite.

Chalkwell Esplanade

We like to walk along the Chalkwall esplanade to let our dogs sniff and meet lots of people. We often do this as a lead walk, to let our dogs learn to walk nicely on lead. We start our walk at the pin on the map below.

Hadleigh Park

Wat Tyler

The Wat Tyler walk is perfect for all dogs, with the new gravel paths and areas to play. It has 3 car parks, but we most often start our walks at in the 3rd car park by the Wat Tyler Centre.

Spencer Road

Whilst we love to let our dogs enjoy all the experiences of an off lead walk, sometimes we like to do on lead walks, where they can practice meeting and greeting other dogs, walking nicely across roads, and many other useful things! We like to start our walk at this junction, right near our office.

Little Havens

A quiet walk with an enclosed fields and some shade. We park at the top of Thorington Avenue, and walk across Daws Heath Road to the Little Havens entrance, which is located opposite a convenience store.
