OUR PADDOCKS
Secure, fully enclosed fields in Bassingbourn & Duxford, bringing you peace of mind while you & your dogs enjoy the great outdoors!
BASSINGBOURN PADDOCK
Nestled at Low Farm in Bassingbourn, our original four-acre secure field has been providing a safe and enjoyable space for you and your dogs since 2022.
This paddock is packed with fun, featuring a mix of obstacles like a sandpit, tyres, straw bales, and agility equipment – perfect for adventurous dogs and their humans to enjoy together. There’s a picnic bench for relaxing on sunny days and a shelter that offers welcome shade when it’s hot and cover when it’s wet. One of our favourite things about this spot? It’s the perfect place to watch the sunset!
DUXFORD PADDOCK
Set in the picturesque countryside at Grange Farm, near Duxford, this four-acre paddock is our newest addition, which opened in May 2025.
Nestled just below the highest point in Cambridgeshire, this paddock boasts stunning views across the county. With a large, open space next to the picturesque ‘Round Wood,’ it’s the perfect spot for dogs to run free, sniff around, and explore to their hearts’ content. There’s a shelter to provide shade on sunny days and a bit of cover when it’s windy or wet, plus a picnic bench where you can relax and take a break. The paddock also features fun obstacles including a straw bale, agility wall/ramp, and weaving poles – with more exciting additions coming soon!
Please note: We’re in a fantastic spot for watching the Duxford Air Shows, but if your dog is sensitive to loud noises or low-flying aircraft, it’s a good idea to check the show dates in advance and plan your visit around them.
FACILITIES
Both of our paddocks contain the following facilities…
Each paddock is fully enclosed with secure fencing to keep your dogs safe while they play.
Access is simple with a keypad-entry automatic gate into the car park, followed by a second gated entrance into the paddock itself.
Waste bins and poo bags are available in the paddock for you to clean up after your pooch.
Fresh water and a bowl are provided, perfect for a well-earned drink after all those zoomies, or for a quick paw wash.
Our paddock comes complete with a toy box full of fun – perfect for playful pups who can’t resist a game of fetch!
A picnic bench and undercover seating are available, so you can relax while your pooch enjoys the paddock.

During Your Visit
Please follow our Paddock Etiquette to help everyone enjoy their visit:
- Please do not arrive early for your session. If the car park is occupied or the field is in use, please wait outside the gate until it’s clear. Some dogs need space, so this is really important for everyone’s safety and comfort.
- Each session is 55 minutes long, with 50 minutes of playtime and 5 minutes at the end for you to gather your things, clean up after your dog(s), and leave the car park before the next booking. We kindly ask all visitors to stick to this schedule so that everyone can enjoy their time with exclusive use of the field. A smooth handover keeps things running happily for everyone!
- Please tidy up after your visit by picking up after your dog and returning any toys to the toybox. Some dogs can't safely have access to toys, so it's important everything is put back where it belongs.
If you're a dog walker, dog trainer or behaviourist, or you're planning to bring 10 or more dogs, please get in touch with us directly for our business rates.
You can contact us by emailing info@dog-paddocks.com or filling in our contact form on the 'Contact Us' page.
Safety & Security
At The Paddocks, we believe every dog deserves the chance to stretch their legs and have fun. We welcome all breeds, including exempted dogs, at our Duxford location. Unfortunately, we’re unable to accept banned breeds at our Bassingbourn paddock.
For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that you follow our banned breed procedure when visiting Duxford:
- Certificate of Exemption: Please send us a copy of your Certificate of Exemption when making your first booking. Once registered, you won’t need to provide it again.
- Arrival: Please ensure the car park gate is fully closed before getting out of your vehicle.
- Lead & Muzzle: Your dog must remain on a lead and muzzled from the car to the paddock.
- Entering the Paddock: Once inside and the paddock gate is securely latched, you may remove the muzzle and let your dog enjoy their session.
- Multiple Dogs: Up to 2 dogs can use the paddock together, but must all be from the same household.
Thank you for helping us keep The Paddocks safe and secure for everyone.
