About Taunton Dog Park

Taunton Dog Park is a private dog walking field in Somerset with a near-perfect Google rating, offering solo hire sessions where dogs can run off-lead in a peaceful meadow setting. Located just off the A358 between Taunton and Bishops Lydeard, the field draws owners of reactive, anxious and nervous dogs who need a space away from other animals and busy roads. The meadow is over-seeded with red clover and meadow herbs and planted with British native trees, creating a naturalistic environment that owners highlight. One owner of a very anxious terrier that struggles with other dogs describes the field as perfect for relaxing time together, while another uses it to practice recall with a partially sighted rescue who can't yet be let off-lead elsewhere. Parents appreciate that children can run and chase the dogs without worry, and the field's quiet location means no sudden encounters with other walkers or traffic. Sessions last fifty minutes, and the field accommodates up to six dogs per booking. Parking is on-site, and there's shelter and poo bins provided. Opening hours extend to 21:00 during summer months, suiting early risers and those booking after work. The Quantocks and Blackdown Hills form a backdrop, and wildlife features including bug hotels and new hedgerow planting add interest for dogs that like to sniff and explore. Owners consistently mention the freedom their dogs have here, making Taunton Dog Park a popular choice for private field hire in the south-west.
