Private Dog Field Near Manningtree
Manningtree dog owners, a quiet field of your own is a short drive away.
You live in some of the prettiest countryside in Essex. But beautiful doesn't always mean easy when you have a dog who can't be trusted off lead around others.
Around Manningtree, Mistley, Lawford and Bradfield, the riverside paths and countryside walks are popular, and many of them run alongside roads, livestock or other walkers. You want somewhere you can simply open a gate and let your dog go.
What gets in the way of a good walk around Manningtree
The surprise dog. On a popular path, you're never far from the next dog coming the other way.
The livestock field. Country walks often mean sheep or cattle nearby, and the lead has to stay on.
The dark evening. Through winter, unlit lanes make the after work walk short, slow and on lead.
It's the opposite of the relaxed country walk you pictured when you got your dog.
