Ilam Park: 2026 Canihike with Nose and Paws Active

Join us for an exciting new kind of event with your four legged friend!

  • Booking essential

We know dogs are part of the family and they're a part of the way many people enjoy the Peak District. We invite you to come and try Canihike at Ilam Park and learn how to hike with your dog on a harness.

So what is Canihike? Canihike is hiking with your dog using a canihike belt, bungee line and harness that does not restrict your dogs movements. Canihike is a great way to build a close bond and exercise your dog, especially a dog with high energy levels or those that must stay on a lead. (A dog must be fully developed and over the age of 1.)

Sessions are strictly limited to 10 participants, full information to be given on booking or at request.

Parking is free for National Trust members and for non members it's £6 for up to 4 hours and £8 for all day. All equipment is provided to take part.

This event, like all our events is open to members of the National Trust and non-members. All money raised goes straight back into looking after the White Peak.

Contact jules@noseandpawsactive.co.uk to ask any questions.
