Tower View Dog Park

If you've got a dog and you're staying anywhere near Broadway in Worcestershire, Tower View Dog Park is worth knowing about. It's a dedicated space where your four-legged friend can actually run around and socialise without you having to wrestle them back on the lead every thirty seconds. The park gives dogs proper room to burn off energy, which matters when you're on a caravan holiday and haven't got access to your usual exercise routine.

The Cotswold area has no shortage of walking routes, but those walks involve roads, other dogs on leads, and the general rigmarole of keeping control. Here you don't have to manage all that. Families with energetic dogs will find it genuinely useful rather than just another tourist tick-box. You can let them off and actually sit down for five minutes.

Based on the site's location near Broadway, it's perfectly placed if you're camped at Cotswold Woodland Glamping, Leedons, or any of the other caravan parks dotted along this stretch. Broadway itself is lovely for a wander around the shops and pubs once the dog's knackered. Allow 45 minutes to an hour depending on how many other dogs are about and how much your pooch enjoys company.

Practical details are thin on the ground - opening hours and admission fees aren't listed anywhere obvious - so ring ahead before you plan around it. Don't turn up expecting fancy facilities. It's a field where dogs can be dogs, and that's exactly the point.
