We usually take homer for a special walk for his birthday which is near the end of May. We've taken him to Box Hill, Surrey a few times or along the river in Henley. Does any one have any ideas for a good off lead (or mostly off lead) 2 hour romp that includes a bit of water for a swim and a picnic spot, or dog friendly pub? Somewhere not too far from South West London in the Surrey, Buckingham, Berkshire area.
Virginia Water? A huge lake (several smaller ones, too), loads of different areas for walking through, and a great doggy-friendly pub just outside the gates. http://www.windsorgreatpark.co.uk/en/activities/dog-walking
Bit out of your target area, but if you wanted to make a day out of it, and don't mind a drive, it's hard to beat the New Forest I think.
Highly recommend Vicky Fletcher's Dog Walkers Guide to Hampshire (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hampshire-The-New-Forest-Walkers/dp/1846742331) and in particular Lepe Loop on page 70.
