Waggy Walk at Castle Drogo
Join Devon Loves Dogs for an adventurous dog walk around the Teign Gorge from Castle Drogo.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Devon Loves Dogs will be joined by Dominic from the National Trust Dogs on Dartmoor project for this roughly 2.5 hour walk. This is a more strenuous walk than usual, taking in some uneven paths, steps, steep ground and some unfenced drops, so please come prepared with appropriate footwear and a fair level of fitness.
This is a free event but please book.
Maximum of two dogs per person. Some on lead walking, then paws on paths/under control for much of the route. There will be a chance for dogs to enjoy a run around the meadow at Fingle Bridge, as well as designated splash points along the river.
