For many households around Britain, and indeed the world, dogs are an integral part of family life. That’s why dogs are welcome in the grounds at Hever Castle & Gardens.

Our Brands Hatch centre provides a calmer environment for those dogs and cats struggling to cope with the busier centre in London. We are surrounded by 12 acres of fields, including a woodland trail, to help with training and much-needed exercise.

Bewl Water is a dog-friendly location, allowing well-behaved dogs on leads, with some areas requiring leashes, and even allowing them inside the Waterfront Cafe.

With its eco-friendly visitor centre and restaurant, fishing lakes, trim trail and picnic and play areas – not to mention 292 acres of beautiful woodlands, wetlands and meadows to explore – Shorne Woods Country Park has everything you need to spend a day enjoying the best of Kent's countryside.

If you are thinking about getting a new doggy addition for your family the friendly team at The Dogs Trust Canterbury would love for you to visit!
