Dog Friendly Attractions

Many of us have pets, especially dogs, so when it’s time to go on holiday it can be difficult to know whether or not it is viable to take them away with us. We have plenty of dog friendly accommodation options so now it’s time to take a look at some of the dog friendly attractions in South Devon. There’s no need to leave your pooch behind or cooped up in a hotel room when there are plenty of walks, parks and some family attractions that will allow dogs to join in the fun.

The South West Coast Path is a great place to start when looking for some interesting walks for the whole family, with so many different routes and places to explore, it’s an easy way to give dogs the exercise that they need whilst everyone else can enjoy the spectacular views of the coast and countryside. We do recommend that you keep dogs on a lead when walking close to cliffs or ledges as some of the paths can be a little near to the edge. Walking on Dartmoor is also a fun day out for everyone; there are plenty of areas to choose from where your four-legged friends can enjoy a stroll or even a dip in a river!

South Devon is home to lots of vast open parks, some with extra wooded areas and a stream or two. This makes them an ideal location to take your dog for a day or afternoon where they can roam and explore along with the rest of the family. You can also have a look at our dog friendly beaches page.

Alongside the usual types of places to take your canine companion, some attractions such as the South Devon Railway and Sharpham Vineyard allow dogs so they can accompany you on your regular day out.

See below for a list of the dog friendly attractions in South Devon.
