We want to ensure your four-legged friends can be part of your day out. Dogs are welcome in certain areas across the property for a stretch of the legs, but please be aware of our guidelines for a safe walk.
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.
Chastleton is a one pawprint rated place.
Dogs are welcome in certain areas here, but facilities are limited. They’ll be able to stretch their legs in the car park and walk in the parkland, depending on the season. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs are welcome on leads in the car park, parkland, forecourt and stableyard (assistance dogs only in the house and garden).
There may be restrictions in place on farmland or in woodland at certain times of the year, such as during lambing season. Please look out for any local notices advising of these restrictions while you're visiting with your dog.
The property is home to lots of animals, including grazing sheep, so please keep your dog on a lead at all times.
