Merrins Meadow

Merrins Meadow is a secure, privately hired dog walking field on Nansmerrow Farm, just over a mile from Tresillian near Truro. The two-acre meadow is enclosed by 6ft (1.8m) dog-proof fencing with gated entry, and each booking gives exclusive use of the whole space for off-lead exercise.

Part of the field is shaded by woodland, while the rest is planted with wildflowers. Dogs have a large sand pit for digging, an area of long grass for sniffing out toys, two tunnels and tractor tyres set into the ground. The Sunset Shack has a picnic table inside and a bench overlooking the meadow, with a further picnic bench in the Shady Rest corner.

Sessions are booked online and require a customer account. The standard price covers up to three dogs, and up to five more can be added at checkout for £1 per dog per session. Secure gated parking sits within the fenced area, and the field is open from 4am to 10pm, seven days a week. Visitors are expected to remove all dog waste and litter before leaving.
