You can bring your dog all day, every day in low season (from the beginning of October to the end of March) and for #WagWednesday evening walkies in high season (5pm - 8pm from April right through until the end of September). So that means that apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day (when the garden is closed) there's an opportunity to bring your dog to Bodnant Garden every week of the year.
Welcome feedback
We first trialled dog entry in 2013 and have been adapting the programme since, thanks to your feedback. We know many dog owners love bringing their pets with them when they visit; and that other people prefer to visit a dog-free garden, so we’ve tried to develop a programme that will allow all of our visitors the time and space they’d like in Bodnant Garden and one which enables us to maintain this very special Grade I listed garden - for ever for everyone.
If you're visiting with your dog we ask that for the enjoyment of all our visitors, walkers stick to the paths and keep dogs are on short (not extendable) leads. If you wish to visit on a day when you're not able to bring your dog, you might be interested in nearby Tal y Cafn kennels who offer a dog-sitting service. We advise visitors against leaving dogs in cars, especially in hot weather.
For a wilder walkies, you can also visit neighbouring Parc Farm on the Great Orme in Llandudno with your dog. Our new footpaths are open from June to December. See our Parc Farm NT Facebook page here for more information: https://www.facebook.com/ParcFarmNT
