What facilities are available?

The play field is a doggie playground with plenty of room to hare around but with lots of activities to interact with and explore. The 6ft fencing gives you peace of mind and the double gate system ensures you can safely pop their lead back on when it’s time to go without worrying. There is a climbing frame with grass, tunnels, and also seating for the humans to enjoy.

What is the environment like?

It’s a secluded area set a little away from the Garden Centre with few passers-by. There is sometimes noise from the miniature railway close by, general public accessing the garden centre and an occasional aeroplane added to the ‘real life’ setting. During certain seasons the farmers scarers can be heard.
