Dogs are welcome at Wellbrook Beetling Mill. We want you and your furry companions to enjoy their visit. Please help to ensure that all visitors, with or without dogs, can enjoy their day by following these guidelines.
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.
Wellbrook Beetling Mill is a one pawprint rated place.
One pawprint means you'll be able to take your dog into some areas but, not all. There will be water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks.
Dogs are welcome at Wellbrook. We ask that they are kept on a short lead whilst walking through the grounds. Not every visitor or dog is comfortable with dogs off lead and we ask that you bear this in mind during your visit.
Dogs must be kept on a short lead in the following areas:
We value your dog’s safety so please put your dog on a lead before letting it out of your car.
Off-lead activity can lead to physical damage of habitat through the trampling of vegetation, which can adversely affect more fragile species of plants. Dogs off lead can also cause problems of disturbance to species, particularly wildlife. Please respect our conservation aims by keeping your dog on a short lead throughout the garden.
Please ensure that, wherever you are in the estate, you clean up after your dog and dispose of waste in the bins provided. Please do not leave waste for someone to step in or for our garden team to clear. You'll be helping us keep Wellbrook clean for everyone, thank you.
Dogs are not permitted in the Beetling Mill, with the exception of assistance dogs. Please bear in mind that dogs are permitted on leads in the grounds only.
We may be able to help. Ask a member of staff at our welcome area if you have forgotten your dog’s lead. We may be able to offer you a spare. Please be aware that leads may not always be available.
