Chapel Farms Secure Dog Paddock Newquay

If you're staying at one of Newquay's caravan parks and traveling with a dog, Chapel Farms Secure Dog Paddock solves a real problem. It's a dedicated off-lead space where your dog can run about safely without you having to worry about them bolting toward the cliff edge or tangling with other walkers' leads. The paddock itself is fenced and purpose-built for exactly this - letting your spaniel or terrier burn off energy while you keep an eye on them from the sidelines.

This is squarely for dog owners, not really a destination in its own right. You won't find much to do here if you're not travelling with a four-legged friend. But if you are staying nearby - Hendra Holiday Park is just half a mile away, or Sunhaven a touch further - it's worth knowing about. On a windy Cornish day when the beaches are lashing and your dog is going stir-crazy in the caravan, twenty minutes here makes everyone happier.

The exact opening hours and admission costs aren't publicly listed, so ringing ahead before you visit is sensible. Allow thirty minutes to an hour depending on how knackered your dog needs to be. It's the kind of practical facility that doesn't make the guidebooks but absolutely makes a difference to a family holiday when you've got a restless pet in tow.
