Somerton Dog Walking Field

Just outside Street in Somerset sits a proper working dog field that's become something of a local favourite for anyone travelling with a pooch. It's nothing fancy - a decent-sized open space where dogs can run about freely without the stress of traffic or leads. The field itself is straightforward: grass, room to move, and enough space that even excitable spaniels won't knock over your thermos.

This is squarely one for dog owners on a camping trip who need to burn off some energy before heading back to the tent. If you're staying at Orchard Farm Glamping or Bobsfield Campsite nearby, it's a quick drive and genuinely useful. Non-dog people won't find much to do here - there's no café, no scenery to write home about, just a field. But if your labrador has been cooped up in a caravan, it's a lifesaver.

The site appears to be free and accessible during daylight hours, though opening times aren't formally listed. It's the sort of place locals know about rather than a signposted attraction with visitor facilities. Allow 30 minutes to an hour depending on how mad your dog wants to go. Best visited mid-week if you want peace; weekends can get a bit busy with the local dog-walking crowd.

It fits neatly into a Somerset camping holiday as a practical stop rather than a destination in itself. Pair it with walks around Street itself or ventures to nearby attractions, and it becomes part of the rhythm of the trip rather than the main event.
