Adventure Paws Dog Walking Field

Your dog will have the time of its life at Adventure Paws, a proper open field where dogs can run about without a lead in sight. Located near Bishop Auckland in North Yorkshire, it's exactly the sort of place that makes a dog's tail never stop wagging - flat ground, space to burn, and usually other dogs to chase about with. The field itself is straightforward: no fancy facilities, just grass and freedom. You'll want to allow an hour or so, though your dog might not want to leave. It's ideal if you've got a springer spaniel or any breed that needs a proper outlet rather than a quick circuit round the block.

If you're holidaying at one of the nearby parks - Cragwood is only 3 miles away, or High Farm if you're after something a touch further out - this is a genuine lifesaver for keeping your dog happy. Most touring parks and glamping sites in the area are geared up for families, but they don't always have much space for dogs to properly stretch their legs, so having Adventure Paws on your doorstep solves that problem. Admission details aren't always clear online, so it's worth ringing ahead, but places like this tend to be either free or a quid or two. Worth the detour if you're travelling with a four-legged friend who's been cooped up in a caravan all morning.
