Tails will be wagging with excitement as we welcome more dogs than ever to the garden and grounds of Plas Newydd, Anglesey. Take a walk alongside the Menai Strait with your four-legged friend or wander into the garden and woodland to enjoy some fresh air. On a clear day, you’ll be able to see the mountain range of Snowdonia across the waters of the Strait.
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.
Plas Newydd 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.
Plas Newydd pooches are free to visit almost all areas of our gardens and grounds. These areas include outside the mansion, the Rhododendron Garden and the Camellia Dell. Go further afield to the Coronation Meadow and the Arboretum through to Church Wood.
Please keep your dog on a short lead. If you have an extendable lead, please keep it short during your visit.
Only assistance dogs are able to enter the house. The Terraced Garden is also not accessible to dogs. Due to the precise planting in this area, it is kept as a paw-free zone.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
Our definition of close or effective control is:
The Old Dairy Café located up by the Visitor Centre is dog-friendly, so you don’t have to sit out in the rain. There are designated dog tables for your four legged friends in the cafe. Dogs are also welcome in the shop.
Dog water bowls are available outside the Visitor Centre, Old Dairy Café and Sunroom Kiosk.
Please clean up after your dog and dispose of any 'waste' in the red dog bins provided. Bins are located at the Visitor Centre, the entrance to Church Wood and just behind the fuchsias opposite the Terrace Garden.
A map showing the locations of the bins can be found here. This can be downloaded to your phone or tablet.
