Marilyn's Meadow

Marilyn's Meadow in Hereford offers five acres of secure, private dog field available for exclusive hire. It's a calm, undisturbed space where dogs can enjoy some off-lead freedom without having to navigate other dogs or owners.

Each booking gives you the whole fully enclosed field to yourselves, with agility equipment for dogs who fancy something more energetic than a circuit of the perimeter. Water, bowls and treats are provided, and there's shelter when the weather refuses to cooperate. The field is open 365 days a year, with bookings available from 6am to 8pm.

There's also a rather wonderful converted livestock trailer where humans can sit and relax while the dogs investigate the field. Take a flask of tea and you've practically got yourselves a private countryside lounge—albeit one where the entertainment is mostly zoomies.
