Dogs are welcome at Whitlingham Country Park

Although there are some places where they should be kept on a lead. These areas are the clearly marked and include:
 
The Conservation Area
Trowse Water Meadow
The Children's play area
Barn Café, Patio & Meadow
All Car Parks.

When walking your dog please respect the wildlife as well as the other park users by keeping your dog under effective control.

Ground nesting birds are particularly sensitive to disturbance by dogs and people. Please observe the warning signs displayed during the nesting season.
 
Grazing cattle play an important role in the management of the Park, advice on walking with livestock can be found here.

The Park is for everyone to enjoy. Please make sure you don't spoil someone else's day and pick up after your dog. Dog waste should be placed in a tightly sealed bag and taken home or deposited in the bins marked for dog waste or general bins. Dog fouling alters the nutrient levels of soils and can affect the survival of rare flora and fauna.

It is an offence not to pick up after your dog. The South Norfolk Council Public Space Protection Order applies to Whitlingham Country Park and carries a maximum penalty of £1000. Fixed penalties of £80 are also in operation.

Professional dog walkers must apply for a licence to operate in the park.

Please consider the following
It is your responsibility to keep your dog under control and to clean up after it: you are breaking the law if you do not do so.
Keep your dog in sight.
Keep the lead handy, you may need it.
Respect the dog-free and dogs-on-leads areas. Please look out for notices.
Respect other users and the wildlife. ​
