Birmingham’s guide combines green spaces, cafes and pubs for dog owners planning a day out. Kings Heath Park is described as ideal for dog walkers, while Sutton Park National Nature Reserve has heathland, woodland, wetlands and lakes; its dogs must be under control and on a lead in sensitive areas during bird-nesting season. Wayland’s Yard describes itself as dog friendly, and Eagle & Ball welcomes well-behaved dogs in its bar and outdoor areas.

Birmingham City Council says dog waste must be removed from public land. Dogs must be on leads on public roads, adjoining footways and verges, except in designated parks. Keep dogs out of clearly marked children’s play areas and school land, and put a dog on a lead when an authorised officer directs you. The council’s published rules limit one person to exercising four dogs at a time on public land, with the stated assistance-dog exemptions.
