Wilburton Dog Park

Your dog has been cooped up in the caravan for two hours. Wilburton Dog Park, just east of Cambridge, is exactly what you need. It's a proper off-lead space where dogs can actually run, chase, and do all the things they're supposed to do without a lead attached. The park itself is nothing fancy - it's functional, well-maintained grass with fencing that does its job. What matters is what happens when you let your dog loose.

You'll see everything from nervous first-timers to confident striders making the most of the space. It's the kind of place where other owners will genuinely chat to you about their dogs rather than just nod and move on. The park works best in the morning or late afternoon, when it's less crowded and cooler in summer.

If you're staying at one of the nearby campsites - Fen End Farm or The Orchard Campsite are both within three miles and highly rated - this becomes a brilliant routine breaker mid-holiday. Even Hempsall Farm Vegan Glamping is only 3.4 miles away. It's the sort of stop that makes your dog properly tired rather than merely exercised, which frankly is invaluable when you're sharing a holiday park with your pet.

There's no faffing about with booking or entry fees. Just arrive, open the gates, and let them loose. Allow 45 minutes to an hour depending on your dog's energy levels and how chatty you're feeling.
