Dog Friendly Holidays in Herefordshire
A dog friendly holiday in Herefordshire is all about embracing the great outdoors. From riverside strolls to hilltop hikes, Herefordshire is full of open spaces and scenic views that both you and your dog will love.
1. The Wye Valley Walk
No dog friendly holiday in Herefordshire would be complete without exploring the Wye Valley Walk. This long-distance trail winds through some of the county’s most breathtaking scenery, following the River Wye through forests, meadows, and ancient woodlands. The section between Ross-on-Wye and Symonds Yat is particularly popular with dog walkers, offering riverside paths, picnic spots, and safe swimming areas for dogs.
2. Queenswood Country Park and Arboretum
If you’re staying in one of the many dog friendly cottages in Herefordshire, make sure you visit Queenswood Country Park near Leominster. This 123-acre woodland is filled with trails of varying lengths and difficulty, making it perfect for dogs of all energy levels. The site also includes a café that welcomes pets, as well as themed trails for all the family to enjoy.
3. Eastnor Castle and Deer Park
Few castles are as dog friendly as Eastnor Castle, located near Ledbury. While dogs can’t go inside the castle itself, they are very welcome in the grounds, woodland trails, and deer park. There’s even a dog wash station and plenty of shaded rest spots. It’s a great place for a full family day out, with stunning scenery and lots of open space to explore. Book into our stunning Hill View House to be a short drive from a great day out for you and your pooch.
5. Dog Friendly Pubs and Cafés
One of the joys of staying in dog friendly accommodation in Herefordshire is discovering its warm, welcoming pubs. Favourites include The New Inn at St Owen’s Cross, where dogs are welcome in the garden areas, and The Riverside at Aymestrey, which sits on the River Lugg and offers scenic walks right from the doorstep. Most market towns — such as Ledbury, Leominster, and Hay-on-Wye — are also full of cafés that happily accommodate dogs.
