Dog Friendly Days Out

A day out doesn’t have to mean leaving your dog behind. Across the UK, many places are dog-friendly, offering plenty of outdoor space for your dog to enjoy, and some even welcome dogs indoors too.

From model villages and animal sanctuaries to steam railways and heritage sites, you’ll find plenty of spots where dogs on leads can join you listed below. Some attractions allow dogs in specific areas, while others go the extra mile with on-site dog exercise areas, and even pet-friendly cafés.

National Trust and English Heritage properties are also well worth a look, many welcome dogs in their grounds, with dedicated walking routes and water bowls provided along the trails. And if you’re lucky, you might even find homemade dog biscuits in the cafés.

Whether you’re after fun for all the family, peaceful gardens, or wide-open countryside, there are plenty of dog-friendly places across the UK that cater to everyone.
