Suggested Dog Walk for the weekend. Upton Country Park’s new ‘off lead’ dog area …

I recently made my first visit to Upton Country Park’s new Parland designated ‘off lead’ dog area and was suitably impressed.

I went with my Four Paws Dog Raffles and his lovely owner Liz to help with some recall training.

Raffles was a Star and had a wonderful time despite the pouring rain! Well done Raffles and Liz too!

There is a car park for approx 24 cars situated just past the entrance to Upton Contry Park and heading towards Upton on the left. Map at the entrance to Upton Country Park.

‘New for 2015 is our large enclosed Dog Training Area, which can be found in the new area of parkland’.

The Parkland is 11 hectares (25 acres) of new grassland, woodland and water meadow has been created, ideal for wildlife, dog walkers and park visitors alike.

Whether you want to train your new puppy in a secure space or just give your dog some off-lead time knowing it won’t run off, this is the perfect place to come to exercise and train your dog. The surrounding area has also been designated as “off-lead” for when you and your dog feel more confident about being free to run in a wide open space.
