Durdham Down (The Downs)

Dog policy

Bristol City Council's proposed 2026 dog control order lists it as one of the places where dogs can be off the lead (leads are needed on other open land in the city); dogs are kept out of enclosed children's play areas. Visit Bristol lists the Downs among its top dog walks; the Downs café has water bowls (source: https://www.bristol.gov.uk/files/ask-bristol/11328-proposed-dog-control-schedule-2026, Oct 2026).
