Local Dog Walks

Tuddenham Fountains
The Walk Is Across Fields With A Stream Running Beside It. If You Go Through The Fields You Come To A Big Pool Of Water For Swimming And Playing. The Walk Extends Further And Will Circle Round Back To The Main Road At Tuddenham Depending Which Route You Take. Sometimes There Are Sheep In The Field So You Will Need To Take A Lead With You. This Is My Dogs Favourite Place, The Stream Has Claimed A Lot Of Balls.
