We have a 3 acre secure dog walking field which is available for private use at £12 per hour (maximum 10 dogs).
The land is a former quarry and laid out on several levels including open meadow for zoomies. It’s fenced mostly to 6 feet or more, with a lower area of fencing around 5 foot with a thick hawthorn hedge. Water and dog toys are available. You can drive straight in onto tarmac parking, shut the gate, and let your dog run free.
Please be aware the ground is uneven in places and there are some sloping and some flat areas. There are a couple of steep drops where barriers are placed to deter dogs approaching at speed. It’s not meant to be risk free, but is an interesting space for dogs and safer than the open forest with wildlife, traffic, cyclists and other dog walkers! If you want to come for a free trial to see if it’s suitable for your dog(s), please get in touch.
Please pick up your dog’s poo and put it in the silver dustbin by the gate.
Please get in touch using the details under ‘Contact’. You can pay by PayPal using #FODdogfield and/or phone number 07885 576225 (preferred) or cash. Apologies, but BACS payments are not possible. Every penny goes to dog rescue and rehabilitation here in the Forest of Dean, in the United Arab Emirates and in Bosnia.
No liability is accepted for any accidents, damage or loss incurred during the use of the dog walking field.
NOTICE: Please stick to your booked time slot, as a courtesy to others, and to eliminate any risk of unwanted dog-to-dog interaction. There is an on-foot entrance at the top, so no vehicle at the bottom doesn’t mean it isn’t in use.
