More: After a two year wait we can finally welcome our walkers to Beale Park. The walk will take in the wider Park's areas, including a beautiful stroll along the banks of the Thames before heading inland for a relaxing countryside stroll. Discounted Park Tickets can also be purchased separately to explore the Park itself with animals to see and activities for all the family. (However the park itself isn't accessible for dogs, sorry!)
Because of the number of dogs expected, we do ask that dogs are kept on lead for the duration of the walk.

“Since having Marshall my life keeps getting better and better. His uniform indicates that I’m deaf and this gives me confidence. Whereas before, I would avoid talking to people, now I’m far less anxious about not understanding them so I no longer hide away in the shadows.”
– Joanna and Marshall
Please take part in the Great British Dog Walk and help more deaf people like Joanna to leave loneliness behind.
"The Great British Dog Walk is a fantastic opportunity to get yourself or your dog sponsored to raise vital funds to help deaf people leave loneliness behind." - Rachel Riley, TV presenter
