a dog friendly venue
Dogs are always welcome at Eastnor Castle
Eastnor Castle is proud to be a dog friendly tourist attraction and one of the few historic houses where dogs are welcome to roam around the grounds and inside the castle.
“A great day out – especially good fun with children as there is plenty for them to do. There are lots of activities such as an assault course, maze, rope-swings, various playgrounds and lovely large picnic areas. Plenty to keep them occupied! There is also a lovely walk around the lake with great views of the castle. There is a cafe and ice cream parlour. Dogs are allowed as well. Good value for a day out!”
