Scenic Walks for You and Your Pup

Runnymede Meadows
Just a short stroll from Egham town centre, Runnymede is a wide, open stretch of countryside that’s perfect for a good runaround. This historic site, where the Magna Carta was sealed in 1215, is not only steeped in history but also a haven for dog walkers. You’ll find plenty of space for off-lead adventures, as well as meadows and river paths that make for a peaceful afternoon wander.

Virginia Water Lake
For a longer stroll, head over to Virginia Water. The circular walk around the lake is around 4.5 miles, offering a mix of woodland, open parkland, and waterside trails. Dogs will love splashing along the banks, and there are plenty of spots to pause and take in the view. Do keep an eye out for swans and other wildlife, though – they’re less keen on curious noses!
​

The Thames Path
Egham also sits close to the Thames Path, offering miles of riverside walking. Choose a short amble or a longer hike, with plenty of opportunities to stop for a picnic or a break at one of the many riverside pubs along the way. It’s ideal for dogs that love a mix of scenery and the chance to meet other pups en route.
