Dogs are welcome to visit Newtown National Nature Reserve. Please help keep Newtown enjoyable for everyone by keeping your dog on a short lead, 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 members’ handbook.
Newtown 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 open spaces, depending on the season. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs are welcome across the nature reserve and within the visitor point and hides when kept on a lead at all times. To help us protect wildlife, please stay on paths and please don't let your dog disturb birds during nesting season.
Within the Old Town Hall, only assistance dogs are permitted and only on the ground floor.
To help you clear up after your dog, there are dog waste bins around the village and also at the entrance to Watler's Copse. We also have dog water bowls available for your four-legged friend.
