Dogs are welcome at Mill Bay and in the surrounding countryside all year round, and there are plenty of places to take your four-legged friend while you’re here. Please help keep the area enjoyable for everyone by keeping your dog under close control, cleaning up after them and following the guidance below.
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’s member’s handbook.
Mill Bay is a one pawprint rated place.
Dogs are welcome here, but facilities are limited. They’ll be able to stretch their legs in the car park and walk in the nearby spaces.
Mill Bay and the surrounding area is home to lots of wildlife and livestock, so we ask owners to keep their dogs under close control and follow any guidance about putting dogs on leads.
You are also advised not to leave your pet in the car as the car park offers limited shade.
There are two waste bins managed by South Hams Council at Mill Bay car park. If parking at Prawle Point, please be aware that there aren’t any dog waste bins so we ask visitors to bag their dog waste and take it home to help us keep the area beautiful.
