## About
Just off the A511, down the drive and on the left — you can't miss it, thanks to the sheer amount of agility kit scattered around the paddock: tyres, weave poles, hurdles, tunnels, ramps, haystacks, even a castle. Murphy took one look and decided none of it interested him nearly as much as a good round of hide and seek, weaving in and out of the equipment while pretending he hadn't already clocked exactly where I was hiding. He always knows.

There's a swing seat with proper scenic countryside view — a genuinely lovely spot for a sit while Murphy got lost in some serious, endless sniffing. He eventually decided to join in, hopped up, felt it move, and immediately vetoed swing seats as a concept forever.

We got lucky with the weather — sun setting, truly glorious evening — but if you're not so lucky there's a little summer house with a sofa to shelter in while the zoomies continue regardless. Murphy made full use of it, including several minutes of sofa recovery time on the throw he was twinning with. 

The important practical bits: booking online for our 60-minute session for £10 was simple, parking and access were straightforward, and the whole paddock is enclosed by a 6-foot secure fence — no gaps, no worries about anyone making a break for it. There's a dog waste bin and a little watering station with three bowls, which Murphy treated as a personal Goldilocks taste test.

*Reviewed by Murphy, Cavapoo and chief sniff tester at Murphy & Me — The Dog Edit*
> "The swing seat moved once, betrayed my trust completely, and I've decided sofas are the only acceptable seating from now on 🐾"
