The field sits on a slope, owners describe it as roughly a 1-in-10 gradient, which is steeper than it appears in photos. Many use this to tire their dogs out quickly by kicking balls downhill. The surface is grass, and it can get muddy after wet weather, so wellies or sturdy footwear are recommended. A few visitors mention hidden cracks or uneven patches in the turf, so watch your footing. The field offers lovely rural views across the Churchdown area.

Sessions at Rascals Run are 50 minutes, which owners tell us is more than sufficient, many report their dogs are thoroughly tired after just half an hour.

The slot length also allows time to use the agility equipment, play fetch, and rinse muddy paws at the hose before heading home.
