# Outwoods
**Type:** Community | **Location:** Loughborough, Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom
**Murphy & Me Rating:** 4.5/5 (space, sniff factor, facilities, ease)
## About
Sometimes The Pack recommends a place that Murphy simply has to share — and this week's Community Pick comes from Tilley, a rescue Mastiff x Staffy with a serious nose for a good walk.

Tilley and her humans visited Outwoods twice in one weekend. Once on a quieter Saturday afternoon and again on a busier Sunday when the café was open. The verdict? Two paws firmly up. 🐾🐾

The trails are wide, easy to follow and mostly sheltered beneath the trees, making this a great option for warmer days when both dogs and humans are looking for a little shade. There’s plenty to sniff, lots of interesting scents to investigate and enough space to enjoy the walk without feeling crowded.

Parking is £2 all day (cash or card, so a few coins in your pocket might save a headache if the card machine isn't working). Toilets are right next to the car park, and the dog-friendly café serves hot and cold drinks, cakes and — most importantly, according to Tilley — doggy ice cream. 🍦

Now, Tilley takes her reviewing responsibilities very seriously.

Her official score?
⭐ 5/5 for sniffs
⭐ 5/5 for squirrel smells
⭐ 5/5 for the number of pee-mails waiting for a reply
⭐ 5/5 for doggy ice cream

By the time she got home, she was apparently snoring on the sofa and dreaming of squirrels.

Which, in Murphy's experience, is usually the sign of a very successful day out. 🐾
