Dog walks at Foxton Locks

Foxton Locks is an ideal area for a stroll or walk with your dog, but if you don’t know the area it may be hard to know where to go, so we’ve compiled this list of long and short walks. Remember if you need a dog friendly pub to take a break, pop into the Foxton Locks Inn along  your travels and join the K9 club.
