Moore's Paws

Moore's Paws is a dog-friendly leisure space just outside Taunton where your pooch can actually have a proper time rather than being dragged round shops. It's open dawn to dusk, seven days a week, which means you can catch it early before the heat or swing by in the evening when it's quieter. The setup caters to dogs who need to run about and socialise - there's space to let them off-lead safely, which is the whole point really. You're looking at getting a good hour or two here depending on how much your dog wants to sniff around and meet other dogs. Worth knowing: bring water for the dog, especially on warm days. There's no shade to speak of in places, so plan accordingly. If you're staying at Cornish Farm Touring Park just down the road, this makes a cracking addition to your daily routine rather than having to traipse into town. It's not a zoo or an attraction in the traditional sense - it's genuinely just a space for dogs to be dogs. Solo walkers without pets might find it a bit limited, but for anyone holidaying with a furry friend, it saves you the guilt of leaving them cooped up while you sightsee. Opening hours are generous enough that you can fit it around whatever else you're doing in Somerset.
