Where can my dog go?
We love dogs at Kingston Lacy and they are welcome in the car park, woodland walks, parkland and the Stables courtyard (but not on top of chairs and tables, please).
We do ask that you keep your four-legged friend on a lead at all times.
Whether you are a local dog walker who visits regularly or a visitor from further afield, we welcome all types of dogs. With miles of paths to explore, trees to sniff and grass to roll in we think you'll both have a great day.
Assistance dogs are welcome throughout Kingston Lacy. They can come into the shop, restaurant, house and gardens. Please make sure they are wearing their identity harnesses.
Where can't my dog go?
The formal garden, immediately behind the house, is a dog-free area, where families are encouraged to play games and have picnics.
What do I need to be aware of at Kingston Lacy?
To make sure everyone has an enjoyable day, please follow our Canine Code:
- Take the lead: help reduce the chance of your pup disturbing wildlife by keeping them on a lead.
- Scoop that poop: bag it and bin it to keep your favourite places beautiful.
- Paws for thought: look out for information signs.
- Be on the ball: not everyone loves dogs, so keep them close by.
Facilities available for my dog
There are water bowls in the Stable courtyard. Don’t forget to ask for a special doggy treat when you order your own cuppa.
