Private Land No Footpath! But The Owner Allows Dog Walkers After 12.30Pm Prohibited ?? Before As Racehorses Are Excercised. Beautiful Countryside Open Fields Cut Grass A Dogs Paradise Really. Plenty Of Parking In A Lay-By Just Along Side, You Can Cross The Race Track But Do Not Walk On It! This Land Is Amazing &Amp; We’Re Very Lucky To Be Allowed On There However Some Are Ruining It By Not Cleaning Up After There Dog And It’S A Hazard For The Horses.

A Lovely Park For Dog Walking.
