Our Whippets.

You may know this already, but can I suggest Cirencester Park to you? The site has a huge, enclosed dog area - all our setters have loved it over the years. There's also access to the park itself next door where dogs are allowed off lead , though it might be problematic for whippets! Nothing better than watching pairs of dogs race around playing!  

Hi Moulesy. 

We have stayed at Cirencester Park many times over the years and always enjoyed it,  but I think the new access road to the site sounds a bit of a nightmare,  we always loved it and so close to the town and park was just great for us,    but we will wait and see what happens to that road. 

We had a sight hound, too, CGB, a lurcher so I know exactly what you mean. Wincanton was fabulous for him. Sadly both the site and our dog are no more.

The access road into the Cirencester Park site is perfectly fine and certainly an improvement on the old road!

Hawes Club Site has a lovely big fenced/walled dog area adjacent to the Site. 

It is not fully secure if they manage to flush anything out ,from the area to the left of the entrance into "Pawnine way"

Hawes is OK as long as you have dogs that won't leap over a wall into the sheep field. Hillhead is a reasonable size and contained although our old terrier would have gone through the hedge if she could.

Our son has a whippet and we know how they love a run. 

Others know Hawes better than us, so err on the side of caution. We had Labs with us.......fit, but as un-Whippet like as you could get! 😁

Has the hedge on the right of the dogwalk as you enter, now been escape proofed

Unfortunately our trip to Hillhead was abandoned this year JVB so I don't know the present conditions. We previously had a true escape artist and could only let her off in exceptionally good circumstances! Our other dog was fine.

I imagine beaches are good for whippets as long as they have good recall, places like Godrevy and Pembrey Country Park with huge expanses of beach nearby.
