Surrounded by picturesque woodland and iconic Northamptonshire countryside, Lyveden is a great place to explore with your canine companion. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome throughout the gardens and courtyard areas.
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.
