We are located in a rural setting amongst working farmland. There may be stones, branches, small holes. Therefore Percy’s paddock – Winchester Secure Dog Walking Field may not be suitable for all dogs due to the proximity of livestock (guinea fowl), sounds of neighbouring farm dogs, gunshots and bird scarers.

Being close to the Golf Driving range we are constantly checking for golf balls and any other objects which might be tempting for a dog to pick up. If your dog has a tendency to pick up objects then please be aware there might be the occasional golf ball on the ground.

Please assess the suitability for your own dog or contact us for more information.
