Can anyone help with walks in/around these 2 areas, preferably Doncaster ones first as that's imminent.   Preferably something lasting 2 hours, forest or heathland, water optional & no sheep! Thanks.

Dont know about Doncaster but Ellesmere Port on the Wirral you can visit Delamere Forest walk for hours and hours fab place for dogs. Around 10 mins in car from Ellesmere Port.

LUUURRRRVVEE DELAMERE!!

Yeah Delamere is good, theres also the canal (not sure if your ok about walking the dogs along there?) Theres Eastham woods, thats not too far form the EP only about a 5/10 min drive depending on where you are in EP. Theres quite a few different walks if your willing to drive to them.HTH

Thanks for this, I will Google it.  I hope to be in the area one Saturday in November, so I will be looking to give my 2 dogs a long walk to tire them out!

There are loads of country walks in Wirral - just do a google
