Mum’s got my harness on and my tail is in overdrive! Where are we going today? Oh Mum’s rushed back to find something.. Oh sunglasses and car keys. Door open and in I jump. A couple of songs on the radio and we stop. We’re here on our next adventure.

This one is a bit of a hidden gem and it’s just a few minutes from the Deepings. We parked up at East End Langtoft. Mum put me on my lead and we walked out of the village and followed the path on the verge to the nature reserve. There’s a really welcoming sign at the entrance. 

The nature reserve was a previous quarry until Langtoft Parish Council took over the area. Volunteers manage the nature reserve for the local community.

We were greeted with lots of different paths, so there are lots of different routes each time you visit.

I’m on my lead for this walk as all dogs must be kept on a lead. There are also a couple of areas clearly signposted where me and my paw friends are not allowed.

My sniffers absolutely love this walk! And for Mum there are lots of benches where she can get some peace and take in the views.

There are options to extend the walk by heading back towards the village, then crossing the road before the houses. Follow the gate to the foot path and this leads to the old moat at the back of the play park. From here you can walk around the whole field (it can get a bit overgrown so recommend wearing trousers.) In front of the moat and the one to the left too, I can go off the lead but we have to be mindful of the crops.

The footpath goes back to Langtoft Park, or the opposite way to Langtoft crossroads. Alternatively if you are feeling really energetic you can follow it across the fields to Baston.

All this for our paws on our doorstep. Mum I’m ready for a treat now!
