Rosliston Forestry Centre is a favourite destination for dog walkers who want a slightly longer woodland walk without heading too far out of town. The site offers a network of forest trails, ponds, wildlife areas and open glades, making every visit feel a little different.
Dogs are welcome across most walking areas, and the mix of shaded woodland and open spaces makes it great for year-round walks. The site is well-maintained, with signposted paths and on-site facilities, which makes it especially popular with families and weekend walkers.
It feels peaceful but never isolated — a nice balance of nature and accessibility.
