Kingfisher Barn Stour Valley Nature Reserve

Beautiful river walk. Different paths to take but caution needed with breeding swans and flooding!

Very lucky as even when flooded we can get walks in along the back tracks, good wellies a must!! Caution required on the river side as breeding swan pairs but with 2 dedicated dog 'beaches' its great if your pup loves water Also if you go off the beaten track you might find some lovely natural artwork by our local nomad


Summer months are to be enjoyed in the river, cooling off with your pup.
Wonderful local regular dog walkers so friendships develop xx


TIPS:

Watch out for the swans. They own this river so if unsure of your dog around wildlife please use casting.
