Swallowfield Dog Walking Fields

Come along with your dog and enjoy picturesque walks in the Warwickshire countryside. Swallowfield Equestrian is set in 65 acres, with 45 acres set well off any roads, and you can enjoy private use, away from other people and dogs. Our privately owned fields are surrounded by thick, mature hedgerows and trees with an abundance of wildlife. We also offer secure, gated, parking plus tea/coffee facilities and toilets on site.

After a whole year of opening our wonderful grounds to the public back in Summer 2022, We are still very excited to share with you our 2.7 acre, Kennel Club approved, securely fenced re-call and training field. With 8-foot fences and a variety of obstacles, it makes the perfect training and recall area. Owners are welcome to book the field for up to 4 dogs in 30-minute slots. 

You can choose to hire our recall field on its own or you can hire both the recall field and our 40-acre meadow walk if you would like to enjoy a long stroll through the countryside, undisturbed! On return to the car park, there is tea and coffee available, a hose to wash wellies and dogs off, a bowl of water. The car park is secure up a private drive, well off the road, with a private keypad for added security. There are also dog bins for you to dispose of your bags of waste. 

We welcome all dogs, but if they like to hunt, then you may wish to keep them on a longline or lead as you venture across our larger fields, as we have guaranteed pheasants, muntjacs, foxes and lots of exciting scents! 

If your dog is reactive with other dogs/people or does not recall, then they would need to stay on a lead in the larger fields, as we do have a public footpath along just one side of the hay field, which although very quiet, may have a walker with a dog on a lead. There is of course the option to just use our brand new secure, private training paddock. 

Full details of both the recall field and walk are available below. Please also ensure you read our full Terms & Conditions – you will be asked to accept these as part of your online booking, thank you. 

We can also accommodate larger social walks, facility hire for training and professional dog walkers. Please get in touch via email (dogwalks@swallowfieldec.co.uk) or Facebook.
