Mutts Go Nutts

A dog lover's haven tucked away near Newark, Mutts Go Nutts is exactly what the name suggests - a place where dogs can run around properly, burn off energy, and have an absolute ball. The setup is straightforward: open space, room to roam, and the chance for your pooch to socialise with other dogs without the tension of a lead. It's the kind of spot that works brilliantly if you're camping nearby and your dog needs a proper leg-stretch after hours in the car.

Dog owners will get the most from this - it's not a walk-around attraction for people seeking views or history. You're here for your pet's sake, which means families with energetic breeds or rescue dogs that need off-lead time will find it genuinely useful. The real draw is having somewhere local where your dog can run free and tire out properly.

With several parks within easy reach - The Sherwood Hideaway is less than two miles away, and Clumber Park sits just four miles south - Mutts Go Nutts fits nicely into a caravan holiday in the area. You could base yourself at one of the nearby campsites and use it as a regular pit stop, especially useful if you've got a high-energy dog that's bored by traditional sightseeing. The location near Newark makes it accessible without being right in town.

Before you visit, ring ahead or check their website for opening times and any entry costs - details aren't widely available online, which is fairly common for smaller dog facilities. Worth planning into a longer break rather than making a special trip.
