Dog-friendly walks in Devon

52 physical walks and open spaces with traceable dog-access evidence. Routes and access points remain beneath their physical place and never inflate the total.

PLAN WITH VERIFIED CONTEXT

Dog access, terrain and hazards—not just a pin.

Unknown coordinates remain off-map. A route never becomes a second place, and large landscapes do not receive arbitrary centre markers.
