Eppleworth dog exercise park

Your dog will have the time of its life at Eppleworth, a proper off-lead exercise area just outside Beverley. It's genuinely one of those spaces where you can let your pooch run wild without constantly scanning for other dogs or worried owners - though obviously you'll still need to keep an eye on them. The open grassland gives dogs room to burn off energy, and there's enough space that even on busier days it never feels cramped.

If you're staying at Butt Farm Caravan, Campsite & Glamping or Manor Farm Camping - both close by - this is ideal for mornings or late afternoons when your dog's gone a bit stir-crazy in the accommodation. Families with energetic breeds will appreciate the freedom here. Less useful if you've got a nervous dog or you're keen on walking routes with scenic viewpoints; it's functional rather than atmospheric.

The main thing: bring poo bags and leave nothing behind. It's a working space that works because people respect it. Beverley itself is worth a visit for the Minster and market town atmosphere, so you can combine a proper morning walk here with exploring the town centre later. Allow an hour if you want your dog to truly tire itself out, though thirty minutes of serious off-lead time does the job for most.
