Dogs are welcome at Crom, and there are plenty of places to take your four-legged friend while you are here. We know dogs are part of the family, so they can join you on every step of the visitor experience.
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.
Crom is a three pawprint rated place.
Three pawprints shows the very best places you can visit for a day with your dog. You’ll be able to take your dog to most areas. There’ll be clearly signed dog zones and dog-friendly experiences. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.

While visiting we ask that visitors keep their dogs on a lead and under effective control during their visit to Crom, the site offers dog walkers ample opportunity to stretch your legs with wandering trails across the estate that offer stunning views over Lough Erne and a chance to escape into nature.
Water bowls are positioned near visitor reception, a dog wash station is located near the toilets in the main visitor car park and dog waste bins are provided.
Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times around the visitor centre area. We ask that all visitors keep to the disignated paths. This helps us look after the site and its wildlife.
