Find out when Benthall Hall is open, how to get here, the things to see and do and more.
Explore walks across the countryside surrounding Benthall Hall with your dog. Open every day, all year round, the countryside walks are perfect routes to explore. Here’s everything you need to know when visiting with your dog.
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.
Benthall Hall is a one pawprint rated place.
Dogs are welcome here, but facilities are limited. They’ll be able to stretch their legs in the car park and enjoy walks across the park and woodland, all year round. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs are welcome in the woodland and parkland at Benthall, although sometimes they will need to be on a lead to protect nesting birds or livestock grazing the parkland during the year. Look out for signs that tell you where you need to put your dog on a lead. If you're in an area where it's safe to let your dog off the lead, please keep it under close control.
Our definition of close or effective control is:
Dogs aren't allowed into the garden or indoor spaces at Benthall Hall, except for assistance or guide dogs.
Help us keep the countryside beautiful and safe for us all to enjoy. Please bag and bin your dog’s poo in the dog waste bin by the gate into the parkland or take home with you.
