Kingsbury Water Park Circuit

West Midlands

Dog Friendly Rating: 7/10 A Warwickshire lake circuit around the gravel pits of Kingsbury Water Park with waterbirds and pleasant waterside trails.

Kingsbury Water Park occupies 600 acres of former gravel workings in north Warwickshire that have transformed into over 30 lakes and pools connected by miles of surfaced paths. The 8 km circuit passes through habitats ranging from open water and reed beds to mature woodland and wildflower meadows, with the sheer variety of water bodies giving each section its own distinct character. The scale is impressive — you could visit repeatedly and take different routes each time — and the surfaced paths make this accessible walking regardless of weather or season.

This dog friendly walk is exceptional for water-loving dogs. Multiple lakes provide swimming access, and the variety of water bodies means there's always somewhere new to explore. Woodland sections offer shade and rich scenting, while open grassland stretches allow proper running for energetic dogs. Off-lead potential is moderate across the quieter sections, and livestock risk is low, making this one of the more relaxed walks for letting dogs enjoy water freely. The flat terrain suits dogs of all ages and fitness levels, and good facilities including toilets and a cafe make for a comfortable visit.
