Forest of Dean District Council: dog rules

Council-wide dog rules, beaches and named places

We've only partly added this council's dog rules. Check the source for the full order.

Partly added

  • Pick up in built-up public places: streets, verges, parks, school fields, sports grounds and cemeteries.
  • We found no district-wide lead order. The Forest itself is Forestry England land: see the Countryside layer.

Source: Forest of Dean District Council. Checked October 2026.

Assistance dogs: most council dog orders and beach bans exempt assistance dogs, such as guide and hearing dogs. Check the source if you are unsure.
