Dog-friendly walks and outdoor places across the UK

Well-behaved dogs on leads may visit the gardens and grounds and the Castle Courtyard market days. Dogs are excluded from the castle interior, deer park and showfield because of livestock. The own visitor page welcomes dogs in estate outlets, but each outlet remains a separate venue; this listing does not grant access to castle tours. Gardens and grounds may be free on designated market days, with parking charges still applying. Check seasonal opening times, events and tickets.

Dogs may visit for the day or accompany camping guests, on leads throughout. Dog admission and camping fees apply: confirm the current charge before booking. B&B accommodation and Holne Park House exclude pet dogs. Clean up waste and use the designated bins; assistance dogs have separate arrangements.

Keep dogs under control, avoid distressing visitors or wildlife, use leads where official signs require and clear up after dogs. Forestry operations may restrict access; follow safety signs.

Occasionally there may be restricted access to parts of the forest during work or other forest operations so pay attention to safety signage.

Pet dogs may visit Rotherslade Beach from 1 October through 30 April. A seasonal dog ban applies from 1 May through 30 September. Follow current local signs and confirm any assistance-dog exceptions; control your dog and clear all waste. Neighbouring beaches and promenades have separate rules. The pin represents the mapped beach, not a verified entrance.
