A NEW secure dog field will be opening for pet owners to be able to safely let their dogs off the lead.

Stockend Farm, of Bransford, will be launching a new secure dog field in spring 2023.

The field will be available to dog walkers on a booking system set to launch in the new year and will feature six foot high fences to allow dogs to run free without fears of getting lost.

A statement from the farm said: "We’ll be opening a secure field for people to walk their dogs in Spring 2023.

"The fence will be six foot high so you can let your dogs run free without fear of them getting lost.

"It will be for the sole use of the person making the booking so there’s no risk of meeting other dogs if your pet doesn’t mix well.

"Nearer the time there will be a website available for making your bookings. As a bonus, you get a stunning view of the Malvern Hills.

Follow us to receive updates on our opening date."

James Kent, owner of Stockend Farm is hoping to have the field ready for bookings by the Easter half-term break.

He said: "We have received a lot of positive feedback so far regarding the news of the dog field.

"My goal is to open in time for the Easter half-term break. The weather at the moment means the ground is still not in the best condition to get the fencing up but as soon as we are able to we will be moving forward with the plans.

"I am looking forward to welcoming dog walkers in the new year."

Mr Kent got the idea to open the field during the pandemic and realised he had the perfect field on his land where it could be located.

He said: "During covid, the idea came about after a few conversations with friends.

"A lot of dog owners are nervous about letting their dogs off the lead in an uncontrolled environment.

"I have the perfect field which was not the most suitable for our sheep so it seemed like a great idea to make it happen."
