Caring for your dog in Bristol
Bristol-specific tips every dog owner should know
Avon Gorge cliff edges
The Gorge has unfenced cliff edges on the Downs. Keep your dog on a lead near the gorge rim, especially in foggy or windy conditions.
Deer park awareness
Ashton Court has a deer enclosure. Dogs must be on leads near deer to prevent chasing and distress to the herd.
Harbour and river safety
Bristol Harbour has steep edges and the Avon has tidal surges. Keep your dog on a lead near water in the city centre.
Breed meet-ups
Bristol has an active dog community with breed-specific meet-ups on the Downs and at Ashton Court. Great for socialisation.
