Goodwood throws open the gates for a walk in the park
Dog lovers are invited to celebrate National Walk Your Dog Day at Goodwood on Saturday 22 February. This is a unique chance to walk the iconic Festival of Speed Hillclimb. This event is free of charge and fun for all the family.
Thanks to Goodwood’s annual celebration of all things dog, Goodwoof, (Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 May), it’s well known that the estate is crazy about canines. To celebrate National Walk Your Dog Day on Saturday 22 February, Goodwood will open the gates to the glorious parkland surrounding Goodwood House, to dogs, and their families, inviting them to stretch their legs by walking part of the world-renowned Festival of Speed hillclimb, which is not normally accessible to the public.
Gates will open at 9.00am with the walk available from 10.00am until 1.00pm that day. There will be plenty of free parking, quality coffee and cake outlets, dog-friendly activities en route, and the chance to capture some superb pictures for social media posting at the walk’s highest point giving stunning views over the Chichester Plain, the shimmering sea and Isle of Wight beyond. Goodwoof’s official charity for this year, Wild at Heart Foundation will be available to talk about their essential work helping to compassionately reduce the world’s stray dog population through funded sterilisation, welfare and education programmes.
There’s no charge to join A Walk in the Park, but, just so we can keep an eye on numbers, please complete the registration form below:
Please enter via Park Lodge beside the Goodwood Hotel as South Lodge is currently closed.
There will be marshals and signage to direct you to the carpark, but for those who know the estate, we will be parking visitors in the upper and lower parts of the Ballroom carpark first, and then using Cathedral Paddock as the overflow, if required
Absolutely, you can download the walking routes map below.
Yes please, for the safety of everyone you must keep your dog on its lead throughout your time at the event.
Yes, there is an area where everyone can rest their legs and enjoy some food and drink. There will also be some activities for the dogs to enjoy. There will be water available for your dogs but if it is a warm day please do remember to bring their water bottles.
The shorter route is entirely on a hard surface so very suitable for buggies and wheelchairs. The longer route however is over more uneven and potentially muddy ground, so please make sure you wear suitable footwear if you’re planning to walk the long route.
Yes, our friends at WAHF will be on hand to tell you more about their essential work to compassionately reduce the world’s stray dog population through sterilisation, education, and welfare.
If you’re planning to stroll the shorter route, you could start it as late as 12.30pm, but if you’re keen to walk the longer route, you should get underway by noon.
Yes, the estate is very dog friendly so you might like to head along to the hotel’s Bar & Grill for a delicious family lunch, or pre-book the Farmer, Butcher, Chef restaurant, also at the Goodwood Hotel. The Aerodrome Café at the motor circuit welcomes dogs and, if you have an adrenaline fan in your family, you could treat them to a thrilling driving experience to enjoy afterwards. The Goodwood Shop will be open at the Motor Circuit too catering for all your human and canine shopping needs.
And if the idea of a walk followed by an afternoon tea fills you with delight, why not bring the whole family, including the four-legged children to The Kennels for a quintessential afternoon tea complete with doggy afternoon tea, where your pampered pets will enjoy their own tiered dog bowls with dog friendly and healthy treats.
