🐾 A Walk Through Time
Set in the charming village of Pyrford, Surrey, this walk isn’t just scenic—it’s steeped in history. Pyrford’s name comes from the Saxon Pyrianforde, meaning “the ford by the pear tree”. The village boasts ancient roots, with evidence of Roman occupation and a prehistoric standing stone still visible today. The 12th-century St. Nicholas Church, a rare example of a complete Norman church, stands as a testament to Pyrford’s enduring heritage.
The walk follows the River Wey, one of the oldest navigable rivers in England. Transformed into a trade route in the 17th century by visionary landowner Sir Richard Weston, the River Wey Navigation connected Guildford to London, allowing barges to carry timber, grain, and even gunpowder. Today, it’s a tranquil haven for wildlife and walkers alike, with its towpaths offering stunning views and peaceful moments.
⚠️ Important note: This service is only available to dogs we’ve previously worked with. Perfect recall is essential, as we may encounter wildlife such as birds and cows along the route.
🌧️ Should the weather take a turn, we reserve the right to reschedule in the interest of safety and enjoyment.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended. Let your dog enjoy a day of freedom, fun, and fresh air—while you enjoy the peace of knowing they’re exploring a landscape rich in both beauty and history.
