Barkby Meadows secure dog fields are based in Barkby Thorpe, near Syston, a short drive from Leicester City Centre.
With beautiful views of Bradgate Park, our two fields, comprising of close to 6 acres, provide a private and secure location for recall and agility training, first time outdoor experiences or just letting you and your dogs run free.
Comprising of a safe flat grass surface, our primary 5 acre field is fully secured by 6ft deer fencing. With a perimeter walk of over a 1000 steps, this space is perfect for larger or high energy dogs that love to run free and owners wanting to get their steps in.
Our fully enclosed small field, with 6ft secure deer fencing, comes to a little over 1 acre. Containing a range of play equipment, this field is best suited for dogs requiring agility training, small dogs for first time outdoor experiences and older dogs and owners who may not want to move too far.
Our new Orchard Meadow offers a 3 ½ acre secure space, separate to our other two Meadows but with the same high quality, secure 6ft deer fencing. Ideal for reactive or anxious dogs, this field provides a more secluded environment, whilst offering a variety of equipment and plenty of room to run free.

This is a great place for your dogs very spacious even in the small area! The only thing I noticed was some people are probably not looking at their dog often enough as I did pick up other dogs poos. But I love taking my dog here there's toys and balls provided which I thought was so lovely! Dog bags all around and bins, water and a hose for dogs to wash down which I recommend in summer not winter as it would be freezing for your doggy, all round I love taking herPosted on Google![]()

We really enjoyed ourselves. So much space in both secure fields for the dogs to run around and play. Plenty of water and water bowls, seating for adults, shade for the dogs if needed. Lots of parking space and easy to find.Posted on Google![]()

My first experience of this dog field. We really enjoyed it here. Good set up, with an area to rinse your dog which isn't always available at all dog fields. Poop bags are available all around the fence which is useful. Will definitely be visiting again. 🙂Posted on Google![]()

Lovely secure field, we hired the large field, which was certainly that! A few bits and pieces in the middle to make it interesting for the dogs, and water available by the entrance to the field. Where the 2 fields adjoining the fences are covered so that the dogs can't see each otherPosted on Google![]()

If you need a rest and recharge after your walk, why not visit Roots Farm Shop and Cafe across the road? Serving food, cakes and bakes all day, they even have a dog friendly area and do coffee to take away too.
