Discover more at Tyntesfield
Find out when Tyntesfield is open, how to get here, the things to see and do and more.
Whether you're a local who visits regularly or a visitor from further afield, we welcome all types of dogs and their owners at Tyntesfield. With miles of paths to explore, trees to sniff and grass to roll in, your four-legged friend is sure to have a great visit.
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.
Tyntesfield is a two pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Please keep your dog on a short lead wherever you are on the estate. Dogs are able to expore almost everywhere on the estate at Tyntesfield. This includes:
Assistance dogs are welcome across the house, garden, and estate all year round. Please make sure they're wearing their identity harness.
Some more sensitive areas of the estate are dog-free areas, due to conservation or planting. The dog-free areas are clearly marked on the walking routes map, which you can view on arrival.
These include:
Water bowls can be found in the Home Farm are, which includes the café and shop outlet. You’ll also find water bowls at the Pavilion café near the kitchen garden.
Help keep Tyntesfield enjoyable for everyone and safe for nature by keeping your dog on a short lead. There are livestock, small children, and occasionally estate vehicles moving around.
Tyntesfield is a haven for plants and wildlife, and dogs roaming off the path mean that plant diseases which may be brought in are more easily spread. By keeping your dog on a lead, on the paths, you can help us protect the fascinating things that grow at Tyntesfield.
