Dogs are welcome at Florence Court, and with acres of parkland to explore there are plenty of opportunities for bounding, jumping, sniffing and splashing through the estate.
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.
Florence Court is a two pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs on leads are welcome on the estate, in the garden and in the main visitor courtyard area at Florence Court. Only guide dogs are permitted inside the house.
Pull on your walking boots and stride out on an adventure with your pooch, soak in the elevated views stretching across Fermanagh and beyond, or wander through the historic woodland on the estate.
There are two great walks around the estate that are ideal to explore with your dog all year round. These take between one and three hours to complete. For more information, speak to a member of the visitor welcome team.
Drinking bowls for your dog are located at the visitor centre and in the stableyard area near the tea-room, there are bins in the car parks for dog waste.
Dogs are required to be on short leads in the walled garden and around farm animals in Florence Court's wider estate. We understand that in a vast open space like Florence Court you may want to let your dog off lead but we ask that dogs are kept on a lead and under effective control during their visit.
Please speak to the visitor welcome team if you require any more information.
