Questions people ask

Are there circular dog walks near Haverhill?
Yes. 200 or more of the walks within 5 km of the middle of Haverhill are loops, 18% of the 1,100 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 circular walk?
One that comes back to its start by a different way. A walk that turns round and comes back the way it went is a there-and-back, and is not counted here.
Can I ask the app for loops only?
Yes. When you search you choose the shape: a loop, there and back, or one way. There and back lets you turn round whenever you like, which a loop does not.
