Blue sea in the Cornish dog friendly woods

We enjoyed a trip to Tehidy Country Park today.  The park is in West Cornwall, with 250 acres of woodlands ready to be explored by both two and four legs.  It is free to park and to explore the Country Park.

Jem simply loves the dog friendly woods and was going crazy as she scented a squirrel running up a tree.  The views were beautiful today, the bluebells are so vibrant they look like a blue sea with trees floating in them.


Some of the walks in the woods take you close to Tehidy Park Golf Course where you can watch people playing parts of their round of golf.  There are also seats and some picnic areas along some of the walks.

There are a few entrances to the woods each of them have good parking, however it can get busy at weekends especially in good weather.

Dogs are not now allowed in the wildlife areas around the lakes, but apart from that you are free to explore.  There are some circular walks which are explained on the car park maps which range from 1km for easy walks.

There is a cafe and toilets close to the wildlife areas close to the lakes for refreshments.  I have not been to the cafe yet so cannot comment on how 'dog' friendly they are.

Jem always comes back from the walk in these woods foaming from the mouth from all of those yummy smells and ready for a good sleep after all that running around.

I would really recommend a visit to these Cornish woods, they are dog friendly (apart from the Lakes) and the views are stunning, especially the bluebells (get there soon to see them at their best as the ferns are starting to grow over them).
