The Heysham Coast is a great place to explore the sandstone headland and take in the views over Morecambe Bay with your four-legged friend.
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.
The Heysham Coast is a one pawprint rated place. Dogs are welcome here, but facilities are limited.
As most dog lovers are animal lovers too, wanting to look after birdlife will be second nature.
Breeding wading birds at the coast often get disturbed by dogs running through the middle of them, causing them to fly up and leave their nests and their chicks. Birds nesting in low shrubs are regularly ripped out of their nests by inquisitive dogs and often fatally injured.
You can help keep birdlife safe on the Heysham Coast by keeping your dog under close control by your side or on a short lead.
