With plenty of exciting scents to explore, dogs enjoy enrichment and stimulation during the walk, while you can relax knowing your canine companions are completely safe and secure.
The red walking route takes you through 7.5 hectares of peaceful ancient woodland, known as Seeley Copse. You can take a detour and pop in to our Farm Shop, where you'll find delicious, organic produce.
Follow the blue walking route for beautiful views of the Park Golf Course. Designed by renowned golf architect and player, Donald Steel, the course winds past some of England's finest three-hundred-year-old Cedar trees. The Cedar trees can be found as part of The Great Sussex Way's Tree Trail. You will also pass the cricket ground, where matches have been played in front of Goodwood House since 1702.
The sharp green swell of the Downs that rises to the west of Goodwood Racecourse is called St Roche’s Hill, named after a medieval French saint, but everyone knows it as the Trundle. It's a favourite with racing enthusiasts and walkers alike, thanks to its fascinating history and commanding views.
One of Goodwood’s prized landscapes is Levin Down, a site of Special Scientific Interest and the eponym of one of our delicious cheeses. Occupying a hilltop of chalky grassland beyond Goodwood Racecourse, this exposed site has not once seen a plough or crop and is kept under control by hardy sheep and Exmoor ponies.

You'll travel farther than your food as the menu is inspired by homegrown, organic produce sourced just yards away at Goodwood Home Farm.
