Dog walks in Surrey
Trekosa finds dog walks in Surrey to suit your dog and you. Tell us once what your dog finds hard, and we show you walks near you with the roads, stiles, livestock and council dog rules already marked, so the first surprise of the walk is not a field of ewes.
Done and live. We have measured every walk against the map: the footpaths and rights of way, what is underfoot, and what you will meet on the way. We have read the rules about dogs of all eleven councils here. We cannot yet place eleven councils' orders on the map, so a walk there says the rules are unknown rather than absent.

What the walks in Surrey are like
We have measured 47,000 walks in Surrey so far, each against the same public map data: where the path runs, what is beside it, the roads it meets and what is on the way. Each bar is the share of those walks the sentence is true of.
How far they go
Over 12 km: 7% of the walks in Surrey, against 10% in the typical county we cover.
Where the walks fall by length. The five bars add up to the whole, give or take the rounding.
| Walks that | Share of walks measured |
|---|---|
| Under 3 km | 37% |
| 3 to 5 km | 22% |
| 5 to 8 km | 19% |
| 8 to 12 km | 12% |
| Over 12 km | 7% |
What shape they are
A loop: 27% of the walks in Surrey, against 17% in the typical county we cover.
A loop brings you back without repeating a step. There and back retraces the way out.
| Walks that | Share of walks measured |
|---|---|
| A loop | 27% |
| There and back the same way | 43% |
| One way, ending somewhere else | 29% |
What is beside the path
Under trees for a third or more of the way: 83% of the walks in Surrey, against 40% in the typical county we cover.
Shares of walks where the ground beside the path is a given kind for the stated part of the way.
| Walks that | Share of walks measured |
|---|---|
| Under trees for a third or more of the way | 83% |
| Beside water for a tenth or more | 61% |
| On open access land for a third or more | 30% |
| Through a park or green space for a third or more | 42% |
| Beside crop fields for a third or more | 82% |

| No farm grassland at all | 4% |
| Off road for four fifths or more | 11% |
| On roads or lanes for half or more | 62% |
| Through built-up streets for half or more | 3% |
What might stop you
Never beside a busy road: 53% of the walks in Surrey, against 71% in the typical county we cover.
Shares of walks with none of each thing on the way. A road counts when it runs within about fifteen metres of the path.
| Walks that | Share of walks measured |
|---|---|
| Never beside a fast road | 87% |
| Never beside a busy road | 53% |
| No busy road to cross | 54% |
| No stile, gate or cattle grid | 57% |
| No steps | 78% |
What is on the way
Pass a dog-waste bin: 32% of the walks in Surrey, against 17% in the typical county we cover.
Shares of walks that start by, or pass, each of these.
| Walks that | Share of walks measured |
|---|---|
| Start where you can park, at a car park or on a minor road | 86% |
| Pass a pub | 34% |
| Pass a dog-waste bin | 32% |

Walks in Surrey, for your dog
If you live in Surrey, it is your home county, and every walk in it is free, for good. Tell the app what your dog finds hard and it shows you walks that suit, with anything that might stop you shown first.
Anywhere in Great Britain, even with no signal.
Further is the Trekosa subscription: walks beyond your home county, and help on the walk itself. The OS Explorer map, 1:25,000, on any walk while you have signal. Press Offline on a walk and its map stays on your phone until you remove it, for when the signal goes. Drift off the path and you get a quiet buzz.
The first 250 households have it for good. After that, £4.99 a month or £34.99 a year.

Where you may walk in Surrey
In England you may walk on public rights of way, on open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, and in woodland the Forestry Commission opens to the public. We hold all three for Surrey, and a walk that leaves them is refused before you ever see it.
We checked Surrey for military live-firing ground and hold 2 areas of it: Ash, Stoney Castle and Henley Park Ranges and Bisley and Pirbright Ranges. A walk is checked against them before we show it.
Council dog rules in Surrey
A council can make an order saying where dogs must be on a lead or are not allowed at all. We read each order itself rather than the web page about it, and we say where we have not. This is where each council in Surrey stands.
Not yet mapped means the order exists and we cannot yet place its boundaries, so a walk there says the rules are unknown rather than absent.
Every walk in Surrey is checked against the same data as everywhere else we cover. See what we check and where it comes from.
