The estate at Lytes Cary Manor is an ideal place for you and your four-legged friend to stretch your legs. Find out all you need to know about where to take your dog and what facilities are available.
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.
Lytes Cary Manor 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 at Lytes Cary Manor. There are plenty of walking options, with three waymarked walks to follow.
Only assistance dogs are allowed inside the formal garden, chapel, house and tea room.
If you are unsure about where you can go with your pooch, please ask on arrival.
If you're exploring the estate, there may be sheep or cattle about. Dogs need to be kept on a lead when sheep are grazing so that they are not chased or worried. If cattle are about, dogs should be kept under close control and on a lead.
You'll find water bowls in the courtyard. Dog bins can be found in strategic positions on the estate and in the car park to make them easy to find.
There is a doggie tie-up area in the tea-room courtyard under the parasols, where you can leave your dog if you want to visit the toilets.
