Dog boarding, day care, walking and pet care in Watlington

Red kite country, under Watlington Hill and along the old Icknield Way.

Watlington calls itself England's smallest town, and its dogs are among the luckiest: Watlington Hill above, the Icknield Way below, and the Aston Rowant nature reserve up the scarp. We cover Watlington, Lewknor, Aston Rowant, Postcombe and Christmas Common.

Walks here are special, and the rest of the service is the same as everywhere on our patch: day care and holiday boarding at our licensed family home in Chinnor, a few miles along the Icknield Way, plus home visits and live-in pet sitting.

Local knowledge

Where we walk around Watlington.

Every walk is matched to your dog: on or off lead to your instructions, solo or in a small friendly group, gentle potter or proper adventure. These are some of our favourite spots on this part of the patch.

  • Watlington Hill

    National Trust chalk downland with red kites wheeling overhead and views half way across Oxfordshire.

  • Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve

    Chalk grassland and beechwood up the scarp, famous for its kites and its bluebells.

  • Christmas Common woods

    Quiet estate woodland along the top of the scarp, lovely in any season.

  • The Icknield Way

    The ancient track below the hills, flat and endless, running right back to our Chinnor home.
