Badocks Woods

Written By Casey Browne

Badock’s Wood is a 400‑year‑old ancient woodland in Southmead, North Bristol, with streams, meadows, bluebells, wildlife, and a Bronze Age burial mound — a brilliant, quiet, shaded walking spot, especially for dogs. It’s open 24/7 and free. Badock’s Wood is excellent for dog walking thanks to:

  • Shaded woodland → great for hot days

  • Stream access → shallow, safe paddling spots

  • Meadow areas → decompression and sniffing.

  • Quiet pockets → good for reactive or nervous dogs

Dog waste bins are available near the main entrances. Note: It’s not as open as The Downs — more enclosed, more scent-rich, and more varied terrain. Perfect for enrichment walks.

Building safe, joyful, and community‑minded adventures for local dogs! As a self‑employed dog walker, my work centres on safety, trust, and thoughtful care — creating structured, enriching walks that support each dog’s wellbeing and give owners total peace of mind.

💼 What I Do:

• Provide reliable, professional solo walks across Bristol

• Tailor walks to each dog’s needs, energy levels, and training goals

• Build strong, long‑term relationships with owners through transparency and trust

• Champion inclusive, community‑focused pet care that feels personal and dependable.

🌱 What Drives Me:

I’m passionate about creating a service that feels local, ethical, and genuinely supportive — for dogs and their humans. My background in operations means I bring structure, clarity, and risk awareness to every part of the job, while my creative side helps me build a brand that feels warm, approachable, and rooted in Bristol’s neighbourhoods.
