Herefordshire - Malvern View Owner Feature


Make the most of your summer at Malvern!


As you may know we have plenty of events to keep you entertained whilst on park this summer. Here we’ve put together what some of our owners have been up to recently making the most of the sunny weather. If there is anything you’d like to share with us, please come and see Sally or the Customer Care Team!

Owners' dog walk


Thank you to Chris and Jill with Lottie the Weimaraner and Tank the English Bull Terrier, Tony with Rupert the Sprocker, and Vicky with Bambi and Bear the Choodles. Everyone enjoyed our first Malvern View owners’ dog walk around the lakes.


If you fancy venturing out a little more, there are so many great dog walks within the local area and in the Malvern Hills that welcome you and your dogs, just be sure to follow these codes of conduct. (www.malvernhills.org.uk)


Is your dog “Sheep Safe”? The central (from the Wyche Cutting to Wynd’s Point) and southern (from British Camp south) Malvern Hills, Castlemorton and Hollybed Commons and Old Hills are grazed by sheep and other animals and you should keep your dog at heel or, preferably, on a lead in these areas unless you are certain that he or she can be trusted around livestock. We also recommend that you put your dog on a lead when crossing the cattle enclosures on the northern Malvern Hills.


Be wildlife aware. Please help conserve the Skylark and other groundnesting birds by keeping your dog under close control on the hilltops and commons. Often birds fly away when

competition, followed by a demonstration by the ‘Paws for Thought’ dog display team in the main ring, and inter-hunt jumping relay. There is also an array of different events including camel racing, terrier racing (which you can get involved in), and


he Herefordshire Country Fair goes back nearly 40 years to when the fair originally showcased on the banks of the Wye in Kings Caple. This event is a great family fun


the pony club games. If you’re into either clay shooting or fly fishing, make sure you get involved in these competitions. As part of the fair, there is the much anticipated classic car display and motor village to keep you entertained and if you have a car or motorcycle registered prior to 1970, why not bring it along. Don’t miss out on the delicious food and drink that will be at the event which includes ‘the best of Herefordshire produce’ including cheeses, ciders, pastries and much more. Plus, there will also be an array of shopping stalls including everything from country textiles, homeware and gifts to take home.

in danger leaving their nest and ultimately their little ones in danger.


Get into training. If your dog can’t resist the urge to chase livestock, or is difficult to control in other ways, then details of local trainers offering “Sheep Safe” and other dog training courses are available from the Conservators’ offices. Training sessions really do work – it takes as little as six sessions to teach a dog to ignore sheep – and they will make walks on the Malvern Hills much more fun for both of you. In the meantime, you may find a retractable lead gives you more control, whilst allowing your dog to get plenty of exercise. The dog’s chase instinct is useful to the shepherd, but causes him problems if not controlled.


Cleaning up after your dog. Dog fouling is an increasing problem on the Malvern Hills. As well as being an unpleasant nuisance,


it


represents a health hazard for people and animals, as dog excrement carries bacteria that can cause blindness in children and stillbirths in sheep. Please help us keep the Malvern Hills and Commons clean by collecting your dog’s waste and either disposing of it in the bins or taking it home with you. Importantly, please do not leave bags with dog waste in them lying on the hills and commons, as even biodegradable bags take many months to break down.


If you would like to get involved in any future dog walks please express your interest at reception!
