Creake Abbey, nestling in rolling hills and only 10 minutes by car from the coast, offers locals and visitors the chance to exercise their dog off the lead in its new dog training paddock (booking required) or as a destination for wonderful walks across ancient water meadows.
Dog training
We are delighted to announce that our on-site dog grooming boutique, Hannah’s Hounds, is launching a training field, with agility equipment, for those who wish to train their dogs. The Paddock, situated near the Courtyard Shops, the car park and the café, can be booked for 55 minutes for up to two dogs and offers plenty of space for you to practise your training in a safe area away from other people and dogs.
Suitable for gun dog trainers wanting to train water retrieves using the pond located at the southern end of The Paddock. Training groups are welcome, please get in touch with Hannah’s Hounds for more information.
Walks
Check the fields opposite the car park for barn owls, keep an eye out for the sheep or cows and you may even see bullfinches, buzzards, English or French partridge and flocks of Pink-footed Geese flying overhead in typical ‘V’ formation. Rare for Norfolk, the walk takes in a viewpoint at a lofty 50 meters above sea level with views towards Burnham Overy Staithe and its harbour, windmill and marshes.

We kindly ask that dogs be kept on leads through the meadows where livestock are often grazing.
