Our Pet-Friendly Insider Tips for Devon

 

It wouldn’t be a trip to Devon without letting your pup roam free on the beach! Famous beaches include Saunton Sands and Babbacombe Bay, both welcoming dogs all year round.

 

Further inland we recommend the moorlands of Dartmoor for open fields, river valleys and rare wildlife. The sailing town of Salcombe, nestled on the banks of the Salcombe Estuary, is a wonderful dog-friendly day out, featuring golden beaches, charming boutiques, and dog-friendly eateries as well. We also recommend South Hams, one of the most beautiful areas of Devon, with lovely unspoilt villages like Dittisham on the River Dart.

 

You can even opt for a ride in a steam train at Dartmouth Steam Railway or South Devon Railway, taking your dog on board with you.
