While some fields on the Stonehenge Landscape are dog-free zones, there are other areas where walkers and their dogs can enjoy a good stroll. Unfortunately, increasing incidences of sheep worrying and the loss of a number of lambs meant it was necessary to reduce the areas dogs were welcome. Discover more about the areas you can walk together with your dog and what to consider while you're here.
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.
Stonehenge Landscape 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 walk in the nearby open spaces, depending on the season. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
All National Trust fields that are grazed by sheep in the Stonehenge Landscape remain dog-free zones. This is because of an extended period of sheep worrying with a number of lambs being injured or killed on Trust land.
Extensive signage has been used over the years, but sadly it hasn’t reduced the number of incidents in the area. The Trust allows free permissive access for walkers, but restrictions are in place in some areas for people walking with their dogs.
