Dog Friendly Holidays in Cornwall.

Cornwall

Cornwall is a haven for dog lovers. With endless stunning walks and plenty of dog-friendly attractions, there’s no better place to enjoy time away with your four-legged friend.

One of the best reasons to choose a dog-friendly holiday in Cornwall is the sheer choice of dog-friendly beaches and woodland glens that you can explore together. From the wide sandy shores of Par Sands in the south to scenic walks along the Camel Trail in the north – and from the cascading beauty of Golitha Falls to the rugged expanse of Bodmin Moor at the heart of Cornwall – there is something to discover in every direction.

Cornwall also understands how important it is for visitors to be able to take their pets with them to explore visitor attractions, which is why so many local attractions welcome dogs. Whether you are soaking up culture at the Minack Theatre, stepping back in time at Tintagel Castle or discovering the Eden Project, your dog doesn’t have to be left behind. Take a look at other fabulous Cornish attractions that welcome dogs.

And when it is time to relax, you will find no shortage of charming villages with dog-friendly pubs or vibrant beachside bars where your canine companion can join you.
