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.
Trelissick 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.
Access to the garden is limited to assistance dogs only. The large estate outside the garden has miles of woodland walks and open countryside for you and your dog to enjoy. You can also take your dog into Trelissick shop and Crofters cafe courtyard.
Please keep your dog on a lead when around the car park, main property and in the parkland. Dogs need to be kept under effective control on the beach and woodland walks.
Cattle are currently grazing in the parkland, please maintain effective control where livestock are present. If cattle approach you, it's best to let your dog off the lead, and call them back when it's safe to do so.
Enjoy a short stroll across the parkland that overlooks the estuary and sea with views as far as your eye can see. Or, take a longer a trek down through the trees to Roundwood Quay.
This more strenuous walk will take you through historic parkland, along an oak-fringed creek. Stop to play with your pooch near the timber framed bridge before reaching the 18th-century quay at Roundwood. You'll find wonderful views, historic landscape and wildlife galore.
After all that exertion why not pop into the café and enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake? The outside courtyard area is dog-friendly with water bowls and outdoor seating.
During bad weather we open an indoor seating area where dogs and owners can relax out of the rain and the chill.
Dog water bowls are provided in the café courtyard area. Additional water bowls are located at the entrance to the parkland. Dog bins are located at the entrance to the parkland by the car park.
