Many of Devon’s Top Attractions are dog friendly and openly welcome our four legged friends which is especially important as so many local Devon families have a dog as part of their family.

Plus, everyone now wants to bring their furry friends on holiday with them too. You can take your dog on our steam trains, trams and boat cruises, wander the grounds of Devon’s top stately homes and gardens and let them explore our natural attractions out on Dartmoor.

At attractions who have livestock dogs aren’t permitted but some do have lockable kennels, water and exercising areas.

Take a look on www.devonstopattactions.co.uk/attractions/dogfriendly and check out all the places you can visit with your faithful friend and plan your next dog friendly day out.
