Find out when Tattershall Castle is open, how to get here, the things to see and do and more.
Taking a stroll through the castle grounds with your dog is one of the best ways to explore this part of the Lincolnshire countryside. Here’s all you need to know to make the most of your visit 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.
Tattershall Castle is a two pawprint rated place.
This place has a water bowl, dog bin and dog-friendly areas. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas (the castle grounds), but not everywhere (no dogs are allowed inside the Great Tower - unless you have an assistance dog).
Dogs on leads are very welcome to accompany you to the castle so you can explore the outside grounds together. Only assistance dogs are allowed inside the Great Tower due to the limited access and historic nature of the site.
Please check whether there are any events on the day of your visit as there may be lots of children running around or loud bangs from battle re-enactments, both of which may unsettle your dog.
If your dog is getting thirsty, there is a water bowl located just outside the front entrance of the visitor reception building.
