Scotney Castle

One of the many National Trust sites in Kent, Most of which are dog-friendly, Scotney Castle offers a more regal walk for you and your furry friend. Dogs aren’t allowed in the castle itself but are welcome in the shop, gardens and vast 780-acre estate. They are welcome in the covered outdoor seating at the tea-room should you and your pup feel peckish.

Water bowls are available at all facilities, and the reception team even have free poo-bags in case you’ve forgotten yours, so you can be sure your canine companion is catered for.

There are also two woodland areas, Nap Wood and Sprivers Wood where your dog can roam. Roadside parking is available there, but the addresses for these locations are different to that of Scotney Castle.
