English Heritage

English Heritage has over 150 properties across the country that allow dogs to visit with their owners.

 

Most places specify that dogs are to be kept on a lead, but please check individual property details when you arrive with your dog.

Meg has visited several English Heritage properties, including Tintagel Castle in Cornwall and 1066 Battle of Hastings Abbey & Battlefield in East Sussex.

The cost to enter varies from site to site, but if you think you may visit more than one property in a year, it can be worth becoming a member which gives you access to all properties for a year.
