Field of Freedom Chertsey 2024 - enclosed dog walking field

15/12/2024

Just a few photos to show how the field is looking after the storms - all good! Just a little bit muddy by the gate.
The public footpath from the car park can get puddles forming under the gates in and out of the meadow, wear your wellie boots!
The footpath beside the river can get very muddy and slippery this time of year, please take care if walking that way.

The Field is now closed until the river Thames water level drops again.
Overnight it has reached 4m downstream of Chertsey lock, which means the Field is now inaccessible on foot across Dumsey Meadow (a flood plain) due to knee deep puddles forming

Cold and foggy this morning, crisp and sunny this afternoon. I’m pleased to say the puddles have drained, it was just rain water in the field yesterday, the river is high, but not too high! All bookings can go ahead as planned tomorrow 🤞🏼

As from today, we are a tennis ball free zone!
Please do not bring them into the field, they get destroyed too easily and are a hazard to other dogs who try to eat them!

Remembering all service men and women and also the animals that too have worked to protect.

But also remembering those that are still serving, and those that are still with us that have served, and the effects that the service has had on their lives.

We owe so much to every single one of them.

We're not mean.
We're not nasty or bad.
We’re just a little scared sometimes.
A yellow muzzle or harness isn’t a sign of aggression — it’s a gentle ask for space.
For some of us, close encounters can feel overwhelming.
When my human asks you to call your dog back, it’s not because they think your dog is naughty or unfriendly.
We just like different things, and they're just trying to help me feel safe.
So next time you see a dog wearing yellow, could you do one small thing for us?
Just give us a little extra room.
It would mean the world to us.

It’s that time of the year again where our dogs provide us with enrichment.

How to find the entrance. Using what3words it's https://w3w.co/reds.pens.send

Pic A) Park in the pay & display car park at Dumsey Meadow, Chertsey Bridge Road (the first hour is free and you can use the RINGO app) Exit on foot, using the gate next to the ticket machine and follow the path in the grass, shown here in yellow. Approx 300m walk from car park to entrance.

Pic B) Alternative (limited) parking with shorter but more confined walk, from the layby on Chertsey Road, Shepperton, along the Thames Path. Approx 160m walk from road to entrance.
