Walkington Secure Dog Walking Field

A proper lifesaver if you're touring East Yorkshire with a dog in tow. Walkington Secure Dog Walking Field is exactly what it says on the tin - a fenced-off space near Beverley where your pooch can run about properly without the lead. No fancy facilities, no café, no gift shop. Just good, honest dog-running space with secure perimeter fencing that actually works.

You'll find it genuinely useful rather than thrilling. The field is ideal for getting frustrated energy out of dogs who've been cooped up in a caravan all morning, or if you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Butt Farm Caravan, Campsite & Glamping is less than two miles away, and Cherry Burton Leisure Park only slightly further. Pop over for half an hour when the weather's decent and give your dog proper off-lead time without the anxiety of chasing a sheep three fields away.

Dogs will love it. Humans will stand about checking their phones. It's functional rather than memorable, but that's rather the point. Allow thirty minutes to an hour depending on how much your dog needs wearing out. It's free, which is the best part. The big advantage? It's close enough to Beverley to fit into a wider day out without being a destination in itself. Bring water, bring bags for the obvious reason, and maybe some treats if you want your dog to actually come back when called.
