Agatha Christie and her family loved dogs. We love dogs too and welcome you to visit Greenway with them. Find out where you can walk with your dog at Greenway and discover what facilities are available so that you can get the most from your visit to this green space on the edge of the River Dart.
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.
Greenway is a three pawprint rated place.
Three pawprints shows the very best places you can visit for a day with your dog. You’ll be able to take your dog to most areas, including indoors for a cup of tea and a treat. There’ll be clearly signed dog zones and dog-friendly experiences. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Well behaved dogs on short leads are welcome throughout the garden at Greenway, as well as inside the Boathouse, café and shop.
Please remember to keep dogs on their leads at all times, stick to the paths and keep them under close control, so you can clearly see your dog at all times and not allow them to approach other visitors without their consent.
Dogs are not allowed in the house, except for assistance dogs.
We've partnered with a local company Forthglade and produced the Canine Code to help both visitors enjoy spending time with their dogs at special places.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
Our definition of close or effective control is:
There are water bowls and waste bins located in the main courtyard where the shop, café and toilet facilities are.
The shop is stocked with pet essentials and accessories, and in the summer the café serves doggie ice cream. If you’d like a memento of your visit, why not pick up a Pooch Passport from the team at Visitor Reception, where you can record your dog’s days out.
