Our Bedlington terrier “Duke” reached the age of 14 years old. He loved to run and sniff out the hedgerows, but failing hearing made it a nightmare for us when trying to recall, we found it very restricting and stressful on walks out, so this field provided us with a peace of mind.
Our little 5 Chihuahuas love the field, seeing how happy they are, made us realise that we could offer these facilities to others.
We have added 2 field shelters for the great British seasons, offering cover on the rainy days, there's a table and chairs in there if you wish to sit down.
The pathway was important to us, being grandparents we know how much easier walks can be enjoyed when you can push little ones in a buggy, minimising the hassle of dragging the buggy in the mud, getting bogged down then having to clean it.

Testimonials
“Duke’s Paddock is a fantastic facility - the dog walking field is secure and well-maintained, with a made path around the edge. There is agility equipment and a sandpit if you want to do some training, benches and chairs if you fancy a sit down (some are under cover), and a wash-off area. The booking system is easy to navigate and Clare -who runs it - is really helpful and friendly. We are regular visitors and really appreciate having such a great place that is so local to us.”

“Love this secure and amazing dog paddock. The security is second to none, the facilities are brilliant for dog and carer and the only place we feel happy to take the dogs for a really good exercise off lead when they come to visit us. I wish there was something similar in their own area.”

“A perfect place to take our energetic, reactive dog. He absolutely loved it, and so did we! The seating, shelters, flowers, space, agility equipment. And, above all, complete serenity as the field is so securely fenced. Happy humans, happy pooch.”
