It is fully fenced, making it safe for children and dogs (and there is no busy roads nearby). The 3 acres of field will provide you (and your pup) with space for activities, but please note that the slopes might make a ball game a bit more challenging.
At twilight, you may be lucky enough to see Barn Owls silently gliding over the fields.
Take a walk to the nearby local pub, The Great Lion, which offers delicious food, and is located just 10 – 15 minutes away. Directly from Merrymeet, you also have access to the wonderful paths of the Peak District National Park.
