The Round Willoughby Walk is a dog walk in Artarmon, NSW, where the walk combines bushwalking tracks and roads, offering views of bushland, waterways, and historic sites like the Willoughby Incinerator and Long Gully Bridge.
The walk
Underfoot it is mixture of grass, paths, and bush tracks, with some uneven, steep, and slippery sections.
Lead rules
Willoughby Council manages the route. Leash rules change along the way: some sections are lead-on, others are signed for off-lead play. The signage at each section is the authority, so treat the first visit as a scouting run and let the signs set the pace.
Carry water for the dog: drinking points along walks like this are rarely signed, so plan as if there are none. Early morning and dusk are the comfortable windows in Artarmon for an on-lead stroll of this kind, particularly through the warmer months.
Worth knowing
The Artarmon suburb guide lists what else is around for the dog. Artarmon Reserve is the other local walk worth comparing.
