Discover more at Croome
Find out when Croome is open, how to get here, things to see and do and more.
With panoramic landscapes, fields to scamper around in and woodlands to be explored, there’s something for everyone and every dog at Croome. Read our canine code and ensure that you and your pooch enjoy your visit.
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.
Croome 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.
We love dogs at Croome and they are welcome throughout the parkland. Please be aware though that there is livestock grazing across the site so please keep your dog on a short lead.
Please also don’t let your dog swim in the lake and the river, for their health and so as not to disturb wildlife.
Only assistance dogs are allowed in the house, RAF canteen and RAF Museum, as well as the privately-owned walled gardens.
There are water bowls outside the visitor centre and nine dog waste bins across Croome which are marked on the map available on site. Tethering hooks are available outside the walled gardens.
We've created the Pooch Passport in partnership with natural pet food maker Forthglade, so your dog(s) can walk their way towards a special treat while visiting some of the top dog-friendly places in our care.
Pick up a Pooch Passport from participating places and every time you visit a different place together between 1 September 2024 and 28 February 2025, you can collect a stamp.
The Pooch Passport is valid from 1 September 2024 to 28 February 2025. Any stamps collected before or after these dates will not be valid for the treat(s). Stamps can be collected during the published opening times for each place only. Please check the webpage of the participating place before you visit.
You and your dog(s) can collect stamps from 111 participating places in our care across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
If you're visiting places in England and Wales, once you’ve collected six stamps, your dog(s) can get a free packet of natural dog treats. When you collect twelve stamps from your visits together, they can get a free snood. Any visits you make to different places in Northern Ireland will also count towards the six or twelve stamps required to claim the dog treats or snood respectively. See terms and conditions for participating places.
We’ve worked with our partner Forthglade to come up with this Canine Code, which helps to make sure everyone can enjoy their day:
