A fun, safe and peaceful award winning environment for your dog to run, sniff, play and learn to their doggy hearts delight; and for you to relax and chill out in the rural canal-side setting while they have fun. Nestled within our own Christmas tree plantation and alongside the beautiful Kennet and Avon canal in Wootton Rivers, Towpath Tails Dog Park offers all dog owners a peaceful corner of the

Wiltshire countryside where they can let their dogs off lead safely to have the fun and freedom they deserve. Whether you want to train your puppy, let your older dog have a rummage and rootle, improve your dog’s recall or you have a rescue dog where you need a safe space, away from distractions and causes of fear and anxiety to help you build mutual trust and their confidence – Towpath Tails Dog Park is the perfect place. The Paddock is about half an acre with agility equipment and definitely LARGE ENOUGH FOR RUNNING AND PLAY, but also safe and small enough to keep watch and train. While The Coppice is a larger 3 acre space with a mix of dense and loosely wooded areas. A BIG SPACE FOR RUNNING and SNIFFING, but also great for training and recall. Having been dog owners for over 35 years we know how much it means to have a safe space to let our dogs have some freedom off lead. Our doodles, Hero (RIP💞) and Monty, love to go for long walks across the fields but they also love to tear about and play freely together in the safe space of our paddock – and so Towpath Tails Dog Park was created. SECURE - Both of the play areas within Towpath Tails Dog Park are secure spaces available for private individual hire as well as for dog training and events. Both The Paddock and The Coppice have secure 6ft deer fencing all around the field pegged to the ground, with additional rabbit fencing around the bottom and both have various forms of additional screening. Both play areas have access to the secure gated car park from which there is then a further locked secure gate into the respective play area. Both The Paddock and The Coppice then each have a further access gate fenced to 6ft high with low level rabbit fencing for double security. FACILITIES - The play areas are situated well off the village road and are accessed through a gated secure private car park. The Paddock has jumps, tubes ramps, a splash pool, and access to a natural stream. For the humans, there is a shelter with table and chairs and a clear view down the field. The Coppice is a mix of densely packed and more openly spaced mainly mature Christmas trees for a sniffers heaven. There are a couple of shelters with benches and seats, water, a small paddling pool and a poo bin. We visit both areas regularly to check the grounds, facilities and fencing, to top up the water, and to ensure that everything runs smoothly for when you arrive. BOOKINGS – please see our online booking facility on our website - https://www.towpathtails.com/ to book your visit for either The Paddock or The Coppice.

So it's officially September - and wow, how quickly we can see the evenings starting to draw in. So much so that we have now needed to adjust the closing time at the park to be 8.30pm 🕣. Over the next few weeks we will monitor the evening light 🌔🌛 and keep on top of the times we can be open til. Never fear though we are still open from 6am to give plenty of run and fun time for your pooches.

We had fun this summer watching your wonderful pups and youngsters trying to find Towpazz the elusive unicorn 🦄 in the Coppice 🌲🌲🌳🌱🎋 and 4 lucky winners have bagged themselves a freebee session in our weekly draws 👏.
We've also used the great summer weather to do some maintenance in the Paddock to get that area autumn ready - and those of you booking the Paddock will see the newly widened and spruced up bridge along with some fresh paint on the equipment, to ensure those energetic pups can continue having a great time on the jumps, slides and tyres. We've even updated some details on our website this summer 😃.

Here is just a selection of the recent pup visits to our award winning park here at Towpath Tails Dog Park.

Just look at these proud pooches who've been hunting for and have managed to find Towpazz 🦄 in her hiding place in the Coppice🌲🌲🌲. There has already been 3 lucky winners who've won a free session at Towpath Tails Dog Park. And we look forward to seeing them for their next visit.

We've also spotted a few cheeky hungry pups having a munch on the massive blackberry hoard we have at the park! nom,nom,nom,nom - a tasty mid run break.

This is the last week of August and so the last week to play 'hunt for Towpazz'🦄. Where will she be hiding this week in the Coppice 🌲🌲🌱🌿🎋🌲🌲??? Book your session in the Coppice to come and have fun trying to find her - snap a pic of your pups having fun in the park, along with where you have seen Towpazz and send them to us at [email protected] and we'll enter you in to the next draw.

Coppice bookings and the hunt for Towpazz - can be made here - https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-coppice

Or if your pooches prefer agility and a dip in the fresh stream, you can book for the Paddock here - https://www.towpathtails.com/book-the-paddock

We are over the moon and so grateful that so so many of our wonderful customers voted for us. And just like The Lionesses - we've made it the double by winning for the 2nd time running back-2-back. 😁🤩 THANK YOU THANK YOU for every vote and every visit, from all of us at Towpath Tails Dog Park, your support and amazing comments are so very much appreciated.

Unlike the amazing Lionesses 🦁- we won't be doing an open top bus tour 🚌 of Wiltshire (shame we hear your cry!), but that doesn't mean we don't want to celebrate each and every dog and pup that visits us. And so over the next few weeks we'll be updating our FB page and website with new pictures and testimonials from all of you wonderful hoomans. So please do share with us any feedback and pictures to [email protected] or leave a review on the British Dog Fields website page for us https://britishdogfields.com/item/tow-path-tails-dog-parks-wootton-rivers/

And if you've not come across us before - details of our award winning park are here https://www.towpathtails.com/ and bookings can be made here https://www.towpathtails.com/book-online-1

As one happy customer this week put it - "We had a great time yesterday, wandering through the trees was so calming for us all."

Our weird and wonderful weather mix ☀️🌬🌧 has continued this week - with both heatwave and windy conditions. But nothing stops our intrepid pooches from having their Towpath Tails Dog Park fun time. Visitors this week have come from far and wide to drop in for a journey break enroute to holidays, or a family mid-point meet up, as well as our gorgeous regular four legged friends. To quote one customer 'Towpath Tails is Noel’s happy place!'

We've also been doing some maintenance this week - grass cutting, edge weeding and a bit of impromptu tree felling. Those of you visiting The Paddock this week may have noticed a new view point appear towards the canal as a poorly tree on the towpath🌳needed to come down.

Next week is shaping up to be another hotty ☀️🌤☀️🌤- and so don't forget that we are open from 6am until 9pm for those cooler early morning and evening sessions and have lots of shadey areas and water to keep the pups and hoomans cooler.
