Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Somerset

Dog-friendly Somerset is waiting to be explored with popular pet-friendly locations for the whole family being easily reachable. Visiting the famous Cheddar Gorge should be at the top of your list! Here, you can witness far-reaching views, rugged hills, and follow the National Trust trail - it's known to be one of the best dog walks in the country for a reason!

If you and your furry friends love a nature reserve, we recommend the lovely Chard Reservoir Nature Reserve as it's great for families and their four-legged friends. Plus, you can explore the picturesque scenery to your heart's content.

We couldn't not mention the beautiful beaches in Somerset where pups can run freely. They will love Sand Bay Beach in Weston Super-Mare as it's wide, flat, and sandy making it pawfect to race across whilst you take a tranquil walk. Following some time on the beach, take a trip to Dunster where dogs are welcome throughout the year. While dogs are not allowed inside Dunster Castle, the parkland and grounds around the castle are fantastic for walks where you can spot the wildlife and stroll along the River Avill. If you wish to venture around Somerset whilst resting your feet on the way, hop on the West Somerset Railway that goes along a scenic 20-mile route stopping at eight wonderful locations.
