Booking is through a secure website and sessions are 50 minutes long allowing for a strict 10 minute gap between users.
Access is very straight forward – the W3W link and Google maps pin will both take you directly to the gate – it’s situated off the Shutford Road which is narrow in places but with plenty of room to pass.
You can pull off the road in front of the gate before exiting your car to open the gate. Once inside there is a pedestrian gate to the dog field and a locked vehicle gate for the owners to access other parts of the land.
What is Buddy and Beau Secure Dog Field Like?
The most striking thing about Buddy and Beau dog field is the view. This is a hill field meaning that there is no flat area however, in return for your walk to the top of the field you get really pretty views of the surrounding countryside.
The grass is mown beautifully and provides lots of room to zoom about. The other benefit of this field is that there’s an inbuilt fitness test if you have a high energy dog. From a lovely wooden seat the top of the field, you can throw balls downhill for retrieval 3 or 4 times before your dog will clock onto your game!
There are some newly planted trees in the field which will provide beautiful shade in years to come.
The owner provides poo bins and there is a spring fed water trough in the field.
