Mary's Meadow

4.6 acres. Plenty of room to be a dog.

Mary's Meadow is a private field beneath Culloden Viaduct, a distinctive setting for regular group walks, with space for suitable dogs to run, play, sniff and explore. Other fully fenced fields are used occasionally for a change of scenery.

Our private field is fully fenced, although the fencing is not six feet high. Dogs with a history of jumping, climbing or escaping are assessed individually to make sure the space is suitable for them.

  • Careful introductions and considered group matching
  • Mary's Meadow, other fenced fields and selected forest trails
  • Fresh water and appropriate breaks
  • Photo and video updates where practical

Looking for a regular place?

Tell Carly about your dog, where you are based and which days you need. She can then discuss availability and whether the group would be a good fit.
