As Uppark is enjoyed by many and we work closely with farmers to graze livestock on the land, we ask that you abide by the following rules to ensure the safety of you and your dog, other visitors to Uppark.
- Keep your dog on a lead at all times around the gardens, meadow and around livestock. We recommend keeping your dogs on a lead around the woodland walk too due to close proximity to the road.
- Pick up your dog's mess and place it in the bins provided
- Respect the fact that not everyone loves dogs. Please only allow them to approach other visitors and dogs with their consent
- Be mindful of the countryside code and keep an eye out for warning and information signs around Uppark during your walk
What do we mean by close control?
Our definition of close or effective control is:
- Being able to recall your dogs in any situation at the first call.
- Being able to clearly see your dog at all times (not just knowing they have gone into the undergrowth or over the crest of the hill). In practice this means keeping them on a footpath if the surrounding vegetation is too dense for your dog to be visible.
- Not allowing them to approach other visitors without their consent.
- Having a lead with you to use if you encounter livestock, wildlife or other dogs
Where can my dog go?
We welcome dogs in all outside areas at Uppark, however dogs are not allowed in the house, café or second hand book shop, unless they are assistant dogs.
Dogs are allowed on all of our walks.
Water bowls are provided outside the café
There are plenty of tables and chairs on the lawn outside the café which is perfect for you and your pooch to relax and drink in the views across the South Downs.
