Dogs are welcome on a short lead at Claremont Landscape Garden all year round. Bring your four-legged friend and explore the garden together.

Our pawprint rating system 

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.

Claremont Landscape Garden is a three pawprint rated place. 

Three pawprints shows the very best places you can visit for a day with your dog. You’ll be able to take your dog to most areas, including indoors for a cup of tea and a treat. There’ll be clearly signed dog zones and dog-friendly experiences. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.

Where can my dog go at Claremont?

Well-behaved dogs on short leads are welcome everywhere at Claremont Landscape Garden except our two play areas. They are also welcome in the Gardener's Bothy café. 

We are a relatively small property, but you can enjoy a shorter walk around the lake which is suitable for wheelchairs or a longer walk around the property to take in the views and more garden features.  Please see our Map for details. 

What facilities are available for my dog?

You'll find a water bowl for your canine friend outside the cafe as well as one in front of the kiosk where you can also help your pup to a biscuit too

There's a dog waste bin outside the toilet block in the lower car park, and dog waste bags are available at the kiosk.

What do I need to be aware of at Claremont?

You may not have seen them, but your dog can smell them – Claremont is home to a variety of native animals, including roe deer. Please help look after the garden's valued wildlife by keeping your dog on a short lead and under close control at all times.

As advised by the RSPCA, please don't leave your dog unattended in a car at any time.
