A dog walking route has been mapped out at Vicar Water Country Park.

The new route, which has been created by Newark and Sherwood District Council in partnership with the Dogs Trust, covers 6km.

It includes markers along the way bins for the disposal of dog waste.

Andrew Weaver, animal welfare and control officer for the council said: “This route means dog walkers can exercise their pets safely and responsibly. Vicar Water is a great park and this route means you get to see all the best bits.”
