点评:We visited on a beautiful sunny day, and I think it's one of the best places to visit in Kent for Autumn colour.
However we visited with our dog, and were really disappointed to find that there are no bins at all for dog waste. We ended up carrying a full poo bag for the whole of our walk.
We assumed that we'd be able to dispose of it when we returned to the visitor centre, however there were no bins there, only signs up asking visitors to take dog waste home. It was really starting to smell at the end of our walk, I dread to think what it would have been like on a really hot day, let alone driving home with it in the car on a warm day. Of course we could double or triple bag it, but that's not particularly environmentally friendly to use more bags than necessary.
We were thinking of getting a late lunch in the cafe there (dogs are allowed in the atrium area) however it would have been extremely unhygienic to have simply left a bag of dog waste under the table, not to mention unsafe not to have been able to dispose of it and then thoroughly washed hands.
Bedgebury is such a lovely place for a dog walk, but it really feels as though they are discouraging dog owners, and in particular discouraging them from enjoying the cafe.
翻译:我们在一个阳光明媚的日子里前去参观,我觉得这里是肯特郡观赏秋色的最佳去处之一。
不过,这次我们是带着狗狗一起去的,结果非常失望地发现那里根本没有处理狗狗排泄物的垃圾桶。整个游览过程中,我们只能一直拎着装满粪便的袋子。
我们原以为回到游客中心后就能处理掉这些粪便,但那里也没有垃圾桶,只有告示牌要求游客把狗狗的排泄物带回家。散步快结束时,那里真的开始散发出异味了。我真不敢想象在酷热的日子里会是什么样子,更别提在温暖的日子里把它装在车里开车回家了。当然,我们可以用两个或三个袋子来包装,但使用比必要数量更多的袋子其实并不环保。我们原本打算在那里的咖啡馆里吃顿迟来的午餐(中庭区域允许带狗进入),但如果只是把装狗粪的袋子留在桌下,那显然极不卫生;更不用说无法妥善处理这些粪便且无法彻底洗手的话还会带来健康隐患。
贝奇伯里是个非常适合带狗散步的好地方,但看起来他们似乎在刻意不鼓励狗主人前来,尤其是不鼓励他们享受咖啡馆的服务。
