Pawsitive Resolutions: How walking your dog in the nation’s forests can boost your wellbeing this New Year.

January is National Walk Your Dog Month, the perfect time to celebrate our four-legged friends and the joy they bring to our lives. As we kick off 2025, what better way to show our pups some love than by exploring the nation’s beautiful forests together?

Our dogs do so much for us, from boosting our mood and keeping us active, to being loyal companions through thick and thin. Research shows that dog walking not only keeps our furry friends healthy but also improves our own physical and mental wellbeing. A forest walk with your dog can reduce stress, boost energy levels, and create lasting memories together.

"January is an ideal time to start healthy habits for you and your dog," says Bridgette Hall, Forestry England’s Head of Recreation. "The nation’s forests offer endless opportunities for adventure, from gentle woodland strolls to more challenging forest trails. The natural environment is wonderfully enriching for dogs, with new smells, sights, and experiences around every corner. So, whether you’re wheeling or walking with your four-legged friend, we’ve got the perfect route for you and give you a warm welcome this New Year.”

Top picks in The Lake District, Cumbria for paw-some forest adventures include:

Starting healthy habits can be as simple as exploring a new forest trail with your faithful friend.

From frosty morning walks to peaceful afternoon strolls, there's always something new to discover.
