“This place is an absolute gem! Not only is it convenient for the dogs, it’s convenient for me too! It’s perfectly secluded and is extremely well maintained. Also the addition of poo bags stations and the tap for dog bowls, it’s brill.

I finish work late so to be able to take the dogs somewhere they can have a good trot and I don’t have to worry about anything else. Cannot rate it highly enough!”

🚗 Arriving at the Meadow

AllDogs Meadow Car Parking

What if I arrive early?

Please try to arrive on time, there is no space for “waiting “ outside of the meadow.

If you arrive early please park over in Ringstead Downs until your start time arrives.

Do not park on the verges that surround the meadow or obstruct the gate as the person leaving will need to get out of the meadow and should never see you!

How do I get in?

Use the access code from your reminder email and SMS (if you opted in) to open the gate. Drive in, park inside the secure parking area, close the gate behind you and then let the fun begin! Because you’re safely inside the enclosed meadow, your dogs can jump straight out of the car and start exploring.

Why is there a gap between sessions?

We keep a strict 10-minute buffer between every booking. That’s your guarantee that no other dogs or people will be in the Meadow during your slot, and it gives everyone time to arrive and leave without crossing paths.

FAQ’s

About AllDogs Meadow

Is AllDogs Meadow suitable for reactive dogs?
Yes! Reactive dogs are the very reason we opened AllDogs Meadow. Owning and working with tricky dogs ourselves we understand how important it is to be ‘in the know‘ about the field so you can relax and put your dogs’ enjoyment first. We keep a strict 10 minute buffer between sessions so you should not be disturbed.

We are lucky to be on the edge of Ringstead village – with hedging on 3 sides and crops adjacent it’s tranquil and remote.

Is the field secure?
Once you are in the car park, you can lock the padlock behind you and then you are secure within the site. We do regular checks of the perimeter to ensure there’s no damage or gaps
Is the fencing escape-proof?
The field has 6ft high wire fencing around the perimeter and then a 3ft high internal fence partitioning off the carpark. If your dog can jump higher than that, we may not be the field for you. The wire fencing graduates in spacing so is smaller near the ground than the top, perfect for preventing any wriggling out.
Is parking inside the secure enclosure?

YES! That’s our bonus. You don’t need any leads from the car to the field. Drive into the enclosure onto our hard standing carpark, lock up the 6ft high main gate and you are then ‘air locked’ in with 3ft fencing and a pedestrian gate into the Meadow.

Is there livestock nearby?
You may see sight of some pig housing 2 fields over but there is no livestock within sight. There is a goat paddock on the field next door but that is separated by our 6ft fencing, thick hedgerow, field margins and their fencing so whilst you may hear some occasional sounds, there’s no visual of them.
Is there shade in the meadow?
We do get a little shade in the late evening near The Mound. There’s a gentle incline to the top fence line where we often find we can catch a breeze.
Is there fresh drinking water for dogs?
Yes! We have a tap that run from mains water and plenty of dog bowls for your use.
Are there toilets on site?
There are no toilet facilities at AllDogs Meadow.

Using AllDogs Meadow

Can I practise recall training?
Of course! Your time slot at the Meadow is exclusively for you to enjoy, play and get a little training in between the fun!
Can puppies use the meadow?
Yes, the Meadow is perfect for puppies. There’s seating in the horsebox shelter and a picnic bench for tired legs.
Can elderly dogs use the meadow?
Yes, the Meadow is ideal for elderly dogs. There’s a gentle incline if you want to wander to the top fence line or you can stick to the bottom where we have our enrichment features.
Can I bring multiple dogs?
Yes! Each booking allows you to bring up to 6 dogs per timeslot.
Can I bring children with me?
Yes, children are welcome to join in the fun at AllDogs Meadow.

We ask that they are properly supervised by an appropriate adult and you understand the equipment and space has been designed foremost for dogs enrichment, not human use – particularly little people. The appropriate adult is responsible for the children’s behaviour.

Can I bring friends or family?
Yes, you can bring family/friends to your timeslot. Please remember however, we are restricted to 2 vehicles for each timeslot.
Can I bring my dog trainer or behaviourist?
Yes, we do permit the Meadow to be used by canine professionals. We do ask that your dog trainer/ dog behaviourist/ dog walker gets in contact with us as they will need to provide some documentation before their first session.
Can I have a picnic while my dog plays?
Of course! We have a lovely sturdy picnic table for you to tuck into some food during your session. We do ask that any rubbish is taken away with you – our bins are purely for dog poo.

Booking and visiting AllDogs Meadow

What happens if I'm late?
Drive straight in and start your session. You cannot overstay your session however, you must still leave on time.
Can I book multiple sessions?
Yes! You can make one payment for multiple sessions, just select ‘add another time’ on the booking calendar. If you are purchasing several, a package deal might be a good idea – it saves you some pennies on each session, and the job of filling in your card details each time!
Can I book a regular weekly slot?
Yes, you have the option when you book to select a recurring timeslot. Many people love coming to AllDogs Meadow as part of their routine.
Can I hire the whole field for an event or group?
This is not a service we can offer. We are restricted to 2 vehicles per timeslot.
Can I book while I'm on holiday in Norfolk?
Yes, visitors to the area are welcome to book ad-hoc sessions. Maybe your accommodation isn’t so dog friendly and you need somewhere safe to exercise.

AllDogs Meadow is a great place to tire your dogs’ minds and legs out before you explore the area further. It’s their holiday too afterall!

What happens if it rains?
If you get caught out without your big coat we’ve got a lovely little horsebox with seating which you can dash under if the weather turns.

We are blessed with a chalky soil which is free draining, so we don’t really get any standing water (yay to less mud!).

What should I bring with me?
You, your dogs, some poo bags (we have plenty spare), and whatever toys take your fancy (just remember to take them away with you.)

“Jack visited today without his Springer brothers and checked out the hay bales, blue tunnel under the bales, tractor tyres, sand pit and trailer in the Meadow.

Jack is a nervous little dog and doesn’t always enjoy beach walks because of other dogs approaching him. So the Meadow is a perfect safe environment for him.”
