Ufton Fields Nature Reserve Circular
Warwickshire
Ufton Fields is a former limestone quarry now managed as a nature reserve by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, with pools, marshes, grassland and mature woodland. It is a dog friendly reserve on a lead, best known for shaded summer walking and gentle underfoot paths.
The 2.1 km waymarked trail is almost entirely flat and surfaced, making it a firm favourite with older dogs and less steady owners. Dogs must be on a lead throughout to protect the ground nesting birds and amphibians, and the reserve has no bins so take waste home with you. The small free car park fills up quickly on sunny weekends, with some roadside overflow available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ufton Fields Nature Reserve Circular dog friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome at Ufton Fields Nature Reserve, which is managed by the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust. It holds a dog friendly rating of 6/10 on Wildpack Collective, reflecting the fact that leads are required throughout — but the flat, well-surfaced 2.1 km trail makes it a genuinely enjoyable outing, particularly for older or less agile dogs.
Can dogs be off lead at Ufton Fields Nature Reserve Circular?
Unfortunately not — dogs must remain on a lead for the entire walk. The reserve is home to ground nesting birds and amphibians, and the lead rule is in place to protect them, so it's worth factoring that in before you visit.
What should I know before visiting Ufton Fields Nature Reserve Circular with my dog?
A few things are worth knowing ahead of your visit: there are no bins on site, so you'll need to take any dog waste home with you. The small free car park off Ufton Fields Lane holds around twenty vehicles and can fill up quickly on sunny weekends, though there's some overflow parking on the verge nearby. It's a lovely spot for a shaded summer walk, but keep leads on throughout.
