Dog Friendly Cornwall Walks

As The South West Coast Path runs through Cornwall, this is always a great place to start when searching for a suitable dog friendly Cornwall walk. There is a beautiful short walk around the mysterious Tintagel that covers easy, flat land.

The walk takes in spectacular clifftop views of the ancient Tintagel castle – rumoured to have been the birthplace of the legendary King Arthur! Whether you choose accommodation in Bude, Polperro, Fistral, Newquay...anywhere along the Cornish coastline, you’ll be able to choose a South West Coast Path section for you and your pet to enjoy.

Dog Friendly Cornwall Attractions

There is a range of dog friendly family attractions in Cornwall, but make sure you check specific attractions before leaving. For some ideas, many of the gardens and grounds of the historic castle are ideal for dogs – so the majority of them welcome dogs along.

Treganna Castle in St Ives welcomes dogs along to its miles of landscaped gardens, so you can enjoy a stroll with your pet while you eander the grounds. The ruined Tintagel Castle is dog friendly, and in Falmouth, Pendennis Castle welcomes dogs as long as they remain on leads. Unfortunately only guide dogs can be taken into The Eden Project.

Dog Friendly Pubs in Cornwall

Cornwall is an easygoing county, where the pace of life is relaxed and the attitudes too. The best thing about this is that there are plenty of pubs that will welcome you and your pet during your dog friendly Cornwall holiday!

The dog friendly pubs in Cornwall include Tom Sawyers Tavern in Looe, The Three Pilchards in Polperro, The Blue Ball Inn in Lymouth, Logan Rock Inn in Penzance and The Mermaid Inn in Newquay, but there are hundreds to discover as you walk and enjoy Cornwall. Many of these welcoming pubs also offer restaurants and hot meals, so you’ll always be able to find refreshment!

Dog Friendly Cornwall Beaches

Cornwall is famous for its appealing, sandy beaches. Luckily for those planning dog friendly holidays in Cornwall, many of them welcome dogs throughout the year – so you won’t have to avoid them during your holiday! Summerleaze Beach in Bude is a great choice, as dogs are allowed all year round - but they must stay on the lead between May and September.

Whitsand Bay Beach is dog friendly all year, there is a seasonal ban on Fistral Beach in Newquay, and Perranporth Beach also allows dogs. It’s best to double check the local rules before choosing a resort for your dog friendly beach holiday, but these are worth bearing in mind.
