Fresh sea air, long walks, dog friendly beaches. How’s that sound? If you’re one of the many that will be brining your dog on holiday for you then many of the best local attractions and places are ready to welcome you with open arms. Find out more about some of the spots you can head to with your pet pooch.
Days out with a dog:
South West coast Path
The South West Coast Path stretches for 630 miles along Cornwall and Devon and is home to some of the best views across the two counties. No matter your ability or stamina, there’s a walk suitable for everyone on the South West Coast Path!
Trebah Garden
Experience the magical essence of this sub-tropical Cornish garden, steeped in heritage, creativity and exotic planting. There are countless secret corners to be discovered in this garden and there is dedicated space for your canine companions too.
Pendennis Point
This walk will not only please your dog, but scratch any itch you may have to learn more about Falmouth’s history. Soak up Falmouth’s maritime heritage as you pass the docks, look out across the vast harbour and see Pendennis Castle further down the path.
Dog Friendly Beaches
Falmouth’s two most popular beaches, Swanpool and Gyllyngvase, don’t allow dogs during the summer. Helford Passage allows dogs (with the nearby dog-friendly Ferryboat Inn a good pitstop), as does Carne, Porthluney, Porthcurnick and Gorran Haven.
Swanpool Beach to Maenporth Beach
This is a brilliant walk for the winter months, as from October to Easter, dogs are allowed to roam freely on both beaches, with the supervision of a responsible owner. The walk is 1.7 miles and is a fairly easy stroll for those with two legs and four!
