Barwick Park

About this park

Barwick Park, on the outskirts of Yeovil in Somerset, is a unique estate renowned for its four distinctive follies: Fish Tower, Rose Tower, The Needle, and Jack the Treacle Eater. While the grounds are privately owned, a network of public footpaths criss-crosses the estate, offering superb views of these historical structures and the surrounding South Somerset countryside. Dogs are welcome on these footpaths and can enjoy exploring the varied landscape of fields, woodlands, and gentle slopes, though owners should be mindful of livestock and keep dogs under close control. There are plenty of opportunities for sniffing and investigating along the way. The terrain is generally fairly level, although there are some descents and ascents, notably at Summer House Hill and Constitution Hill, providing a good mix for different energy levels. The route encourages an eco-friendly approach, with easy access from Yeovil Junction station for those arriving by train. For drivers, parking is available in nearby Stoford. After a refreshing walk, Barwick Park conveniently leads past the Ninesprings Café, which is dog-friendly and offers a selection of sandwiches and sweet treats. Waste bins are likely to be found along main footpaths within the wider Yeovil Country Park area which Barwick Park connects to. This park offers a fascinating walk with historical interest and beautiful views for both dogs and their owners.
