Field For Paws, Fleet Hargate

Field For Paws sits just outside Spalding in that flat, wide-open stretch of Cambridgeshire where you can see for miles. It's a working space dedicated to dog training and behaviour - the sort of place where owners come to sort out their animals' issues, but it's also open to visitors who fancy seeing how professional handlers work with dogs of all temperaments and breeds.

What you're looking at is a proper outdoor arena with trained staff putting dogs through their paces. It's genuinely educational if you've got a dog at home that drives you round the twist, or if you're just curious about canine behaviour. Kids find it entertaining enough, though it's not a petting zoo - you're watching, not interacting.

The location is bang convenient for anyone camped at Delph Bank Touring Glamping Park, which sits barely a fifth of a mile away. The Lawns Caravan & Camping Site and Laurel Park Campsite are also close by if you're looking for alternatives. Perfect for breaking up a few days of park holidays with something a bit different.

Admission details and opening hours aren't widely publicised, so ring ahead before you go - nothing worse than turning up to a closed gate. Allow an hour if the dogs are training, less if you're just having a walk round the grounds. Honestly, it's more of a detour than a destination unless you're seriously into dog training or happen to have behavioural issues of your own to sort.
