Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for the New Forest

Will you explore ancient heritage sites so your pooch can be king of the castle, or hop on the Beaulieu River Cruise for a relaxing day out together? You will never run out of things to do on a dog-friendly UK holiday in the New Forest. If your dog loves an adventure, they will love the Moors Valley Country Park where there is plenty to see and do for both hooman's and hounds. There is also a popular Go Ape course here for thrill seekers, a Gruffalo trail for your little ones, and a railway!

If you enjoy a slice of history, we recommend a day out at Hurst Castle where you can explore the English Heritage site, witness spectacular views across the Solent, and learn all about the castle history. The New Forest Heritage Centre in Lyndhurst is another worthwhile attraction as it's a museum and gallery that also welcomes dogs through the doors! Here, you can fully learn the rich history of the New Forest and also discover more things to see and do during your stay. There's even a Dogstival that takes place in June that's crammed full of canine approved entertainment!

After all the excitement following a day out, you can return to your exceptionally comfortable dog-friendly accommodation to unwind. Whether you choose one of our dog-friendly cottages or a lovely pet-friendly hotel, you and your furry friend are sure to have a holiday to remember with all the amenities you need.
