There’s lots for you and your dog to explore at Tattershall Castle, from the immediate castle grounds to the wider meadow and riverbank. Keep reading to find out how to make the most of your visit with a four-legged friend.
Due to its layout, and the historic value of the building, only assistance dogs are allowed inside the Great Tower.
Dogs on leads are welcome to accompany you around the castle grounds and on our wider site. Our wider site (the ‘meadow’) is next to our car park. It is bordered to the east by the river Bain, to the south by our boundary with Tattersall Lakes Country Park, and to the north by the Horncastle Canal.
It’s worth checking if there are any events on the day of your visit as this is likely to mean the site will be extra busy. In the autumn bird scarers in neighbouring fields can sometimes be heard and have been known to unsettle some dogs. The Castle is very close to RAF Coningsby, a training station for Typhoon pilots, and the noise from the jets (mainly on weekdays) can be very loud.
If your dog is getting thirsty, a water bowl is located at the entrance to our visitor reception building.
