Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Shropshire & Hertfordshire

A dog-friendly holiday in Shropshire would be incomplete without exploring The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Furry friends will love the walking trails with breathtaking views that wind through the rolling hills, woodlands, and picturesque villages.

Once you have explored this area of outstanding natural beauty, take a trip to a wonderful National Trust property. Attingham Park is a magnificent estate where dogs are welcome to explore the stunning grounds on leads - including the walled garden, deer park, and woodlands. 

Alternatively, visit Severn Valley Country Park and lap up the scenic views and open spaces. We recommend taking a picnic basket as this is a lovely spot for a relax surrounded by beauty. Following this, stop by the charming town of Shrewsbury and explore its rich history and 29-acre park that runs alongside the River Severn. If your feet and paws are getting tired, climb aboard the Severn Hill Railway - a restored steam train that runs between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster!

Dog-friendly Hertfordshire is also jam-packed with things to do. Explore Ashridge Estate, embark on an adventure through Heartwood Forest, take a scenic stroll along the Grand Union Canal, and visit St Albans - a fascinating historic town with Roman ruins. For a seasonal treat, don't miss the Hitchin Lavender Farm to be captivated by the beautiful fields of Lavender with your furry friend.

After a day full of exploration, retreat back to one of our dog-friendly hotels or pet-friendly holiday cottages with an enclosed garden to unwind together.
