Dogging sites
Dogging in Berkshire
From Maidenhead Thicket to Greenham Common, the county's best-known dogging spots, with a map for each.
Berkshire packs a lot into a small county: country parks and lakes around Reading and Woodley, forest car parks near Bracknell and Ascot, Maidenhead's commons and woods, and Greenham Common and the downs in the west.
Every spot has its own map, and those reached along a lane or a path also have a what3words address, which helps if you are on foot. Some of these places are full of families and dog walkers by day, so the notes say when they get going. Things change, so use each one as a place to start.
Reading and West Berkshire
From Reading's parks and riverside out along the Kennet and up onto the downs, with Greenham Common near Newbury.
Prospect Park, Reading
Reading's big park off Liebenrood Road and the Bath Road. The car parks and the woodland draw couples by day and at night, while the toilets by the children's play area are more for gay men and TVs, with the occasional couple showing off late on. Families use it all day, so be discreet.
The Warren, Caversham
A long, dark lane along the Thames behind the houses at Caversham. Keep following it all the way to the end, where there is a small parking and turning area where the road meets the footpaths. Around midday is a known time, and it usually gets busy after 11pm. The what3words address below marks the spot.

Sulham Hill and Sulham Woods, Tilehurst
Off Long Lane, a small parking area on Sulham Hill by Sulham Woods. Dog walkers use it in the day; the car park gets going every night after 10pm, and for daytime fun, park up and head into the woods.
Tidmarsh and Moor Copse
On the road between Theale and Pangbourne, just after the M4 bridge, a small secluded car park down a short lane, busy from lunchtime. The lay-by off the A340 by Moor Copse nature reserve is used mostly by men, including in the daytime; walkers use the reserve too, so be discreet. The authorities try to shut it down now and then, but it keeps coming back, so there is no single meeting point: the pin is a good place to start.
A4 lay-by near M4 junction 12
Leave the M4 at junction 12 and head west towards Newbury: there is a lay-by with lorries parked up, and woods behind it.
Sulhamstead, by the Kennet
On the A4, just over the bridge near the Spring Inn, a secluded car park on the right beside the River Kennet.
Streatley Hill
The car park at the top of Streatley Hill, looking out over the Goring Gap: couples in their cars.
Bury Down, West Ilsley
The car park on the Ridgeway at Bury Down above West Ilsley, for couples and gay men.
Bucklebury and Chapel Row woods
The woods on Bucklebury Common above Thatcham. Park in the gravel car park on The Common, the back road from Upper Bucklebury towards Chapel Row.
Fannys Lane, Upper Bucklebury
A rural parking area on Fannys Lane, at the edge of Bucklebury Common just outside Thatcham. Well known to locals for years and getting more popular with people from further afield; busy most evenings from 8pm.
Greenham Common
Lay-bys around the common for evening fun, best in summer as it gets dark, and the car park near the old control tower, around 10 to 11pm. Couples meet here at weekends.
Behind WHSmith, Newbury
The car park on West Street behind WHSmith, with the gents nearby. It still sees some action after midnight. It is now a Euro Car Parks car park with cameras, so pay when you arrive, or park on the road nearby and walk in.
Wash Common Recreation Ground, Newbury
A wooded strip between the two open fields at Wash Common, on the south side of Newbury, with action most nights of the week after 10pm. Park in the small car park by the recreation ground and walk in; the what3words address below marks the woods.

A34 lay-by, Newbury
A lay-by on the A34 by Newbury, used mostly by lorry drivers taking a break, who are usually happy to join in or just watch. A little goes on in the lay-by itself, but most people head into the bushes and woods behind it.
Woodley, Wokingham and Twyford
East of Reading there are lakes, country-park car parks and a station car park, and the woods around Crowthorne and Finchampstead.
Aviation Museum car park, Woodley
The small car park by the Museum of Berkshire Aviation, just off Bader Way: couples, plus a few singles in cars who like being watched. Dusk on Fridays and Saturdays is best.
South Lake, Woodley
By the lake behind the South Lake flats, couples have often been seen between midnight and 2am. The what3words address below marks the lakeside.

Sandford Lane, Hurst
The car park on Sandford Lane, opposite the boatyard, at Dinton Pastures. Best as it gets dark, once the dog walkers have gone home.
Black Swan Lake, Dinton Pastures
Around Black Swan Lake at Dinton Pastures, a popular area. Use the activity centre car park.
Maiden Erlegh Lake, Earley
Opposite the car park there are two fields, with a strip of woodland between them that sees action, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Couples here are happy to be watched. The what3words address below marks the woods.

Twyford station car park
Car park 2 at Twyford station, along Gas Lane. After dark it has grown from a few couples into a busy spot, mostly couples and groups, from about 11pm. It is a pay car park with cameras, so either pay or use the few free spaces just through the tunnels under the tracks.
Simon's Wood car park, Finchampstead
On Wellingtonia Avenue, between Crowthorne and Finchampstead, a secluded car park that cannot be seen from the road and has been popular for years.
Ambarrow Court, Sandhurst
The car park on the A321 Wokingham Road between Crowthorne and Sandhurst. Busy all day.
Bracknell and Ascot
Around Bracknell and Ascot the spots sit in the forest car parks and along the roads around the racecourse.
Swinley Road car park
Head past Lavender Park golf club and, before the bridge, there is a small car park on the left. Woods for a walk or the car for fun, from lunchtime onwards.
Englemere Pond car park, Ascot
A secluded car park off Swinley Road for Englemere Pond, a large nature reserve, with lots of couples in the evening after 10pm.
A330 Winkfield Road lay-by, Ascot
The lay-by on the A330 Winkfield Road at the back of Ascot racecourse.
Long Hill Road, Winkfield Row
Down Long Hill Road, there is a skate park with a small car park beside it. Evenings are best, mostly couples; dog walkers are about in the day.
Westmorland Park, Warfield
Late at night, in the park or the woods around it, with TVs among the regulars.
Maidenhead, Windsor and Slough
In the east of the county the spots run from Maidenhead's commons and woods down the Thames to Windsor, Windsor Great Park and Wraysbury, with three parks in Slough.
Pinkneys Drive car park, Maidenhead
The busiest spot in Berkshire at the moment. It gets going as soon as it is dark, from about 8pm. Couples use their interior or brake lights to show they are up for company.
Maidenhead Thicket, Henley Road
Park in the main car park off Henley Road; it stays busy in the afternoons and early evenings, mainly gay and bi men with some dogging. A footbridge over the A404(M) leads into more woods. The scrub has been cleared and police have stepped up patrols, so be discreet.
A404 lay-by by Hurley Lane
Coming from Maidenhead on the A404, just past the Burchetts Green junction, a large lay-by on the left, with a path down to Hurley Lane and the woods. Lorry drivers and couples use it, and evenings and after dark are best.
A404 lorry lay-by, Bisham
Further along the A404 towards Marlow, just before the Bisham roundabout, a long lay-by on the left with marked lorry bays. It is mostly gay and TV, with some couples after dark. Lorries fill it in the evenings and the bushes have been cut back.
Braywick Park, Maidenhead
Mainly singles meeting up.
Monkey Island Lane, Bray
Off the Bray to Windsor road by the lake: follow the lane to the end, then take the dirt track on the right to its end. A few singles and couples. The what3words address below marks the track.

Windsor riverside by the racecourse
The riverside park by the Thames next to Windsor racecourse. Fine for couples, with the occasional TV on the riverbank late at night. Park on Maidenhead Road by the racecourse and walk down to the river.
Windsor, by the racecourse and marina
A large open area between the racecourse and the marina that has grown more popular over the past few years, with couples, groups and singles. Locals head there after work once it gets dark; on big race days there is little or nothing going on.
Meadow Lane car park, Eton
Just over the bridge from Windsor in Eton. It charges from 9am to 9pm, so it is free by the time things get going. A little happens in the car park itself, but most people leave the car here and walk to Brocas meadow by the river, which gets busy at night, or along the Thames path.
The Long Walk, Windsor Great Park
Park in the free Queen Anne's Gate car park on the A332, at the town end of the Long Walk, the three-mile avenue of trees running from the castle into Windsor Great Park. Very little happens in the daytime, when the park is full of visitors, but after dark people meet along the Long Walk and in the parkland either side.
The Copper Horse, Snow Hill
The statue on top of Snow Hill at the far end of the Long Walk, with views right across the park. It draws a more adventurous crowd after dark, so it is not one for beginners. It is a long walk in from the car parks, so it is best to arrange to meet someone first.

Cavalry Exercise Ground car park, Windsor
A free car park in Windsor Great Park off the A332 Sheet Street Road, quiet and rural at night. The woods and parkland nearby, and the Garrison sports ground car park a short way off, see plenty of action after dark, and people often move between the two.
Wraysbury, Ferry Lane
Drive down Ferry Lane and take the left fork, which leads down to some old factory buildings and a weir: very quiet and secluded.
Salt Hill Park, Slough
The car park is dark and good for fun in the car.
Upton Park, Slough
The park beside the motorway, reached from the bridge at the back of the park.
Upton Court Park, Slough
In the middle of the park an area of trees and bushes gives some cover, and that is where most of the action is, usually after 9pm and best at weekends. Park in the car park on Upton Court Road and walk in; the what3words address below marks the trees.

Before you go
Expect walkers and families at most of these places while it is light, and visit later on. Be quiet and respectful when you arrive, and take everything you brought home with you.
