Questions people ask

Are there dog walks with water near Grantham?
Yes. 1,100 or more of the walks within 8 km of the middle of Grantham are walks beside water, 51% of the 2,140 or more we measured there. The app shows them by name once you have an account, checked against what your dog finds hard.
What counts as a walk with water?
One with water the map draws, such as a river, lake or canal, beside it for at least a tenth of its length. A walk that only crosses a bridge does not count.
Can my dog swim there?
We cannot say. We measure how much of a walk runs beside water, not whether the water is clean, deep or open for swimming. Check the signs when you get there.
