We love seeing your four-legged friends but there are restrictions in place (except for assistance dogs).
– Grounds only – To preserve the historic nature of the site, dogs are only permitted in the grounds, not the buildings
– Short-lead at all times – We are home to lots of wildlife, so dogs must be well-behaved and kept on a short lead at all times
– No dogs during events – No dogs are allowed on site during events, because events are especially busy and crowded
Assistance dogs welcome – Assistance dogs are permitted across the whole property and during events.
