Good off lead run

We were here in a freezing day in November - had a good run but some parts were very wet albeit frozen. We had walking boots so fine but may be tricky if you’re unprepared.

footpath entrance not good

Good directions to footpath entrance, but unfortunately it was so of putting with litter and worse and overgrown (June) we didn't proceed. We managed a very short walk along the disused road, which at least was away from the main service station area.

Once I found it - the dog could go off lead for a run

I found the entrance a bit hard to find - ended up cutting across some rough land. However it was safe for the dog off lead. Never like crossing roads around service stations which you have to do.

Good access

Sign posted walk so overgrown with brambles not possible to access. However, plenty of fields to walk and play in. Our dog enjoyed the break .

DwD: thanks for the update. We'll take the shears next time we're there and do for the brambles!

Nothing special!

The field was difficult to find based on the description in this listing - especially without access to the premium part of this site!

We did find what I assume must be the open space referred to but it had a lot of rubble which we had to clamber over to access. The field had a section of tall grass which the dog loved, and the rest was mainly dry dirt. We were able to throw a ball around for the dog in this area off lead. Not worth stopping here specially. There was a large patch of grass behind the main services on the left hand side where many people were walking dogs, which is fine for a quick walk and toilet.

DwD Team comment: Premium membership would have given you directions to the woods and stream here. By chance you've just hit 100 Treat Points so we're giving you a FREE Premium membership so you won't need to guess at the directions!

Footpath and woods still OK, 2015
