Find out how to get to Stackpole, where to park, the things to see and do and more.
If you’re bringing your dog to Stackpole, it’s important to know when and where you can visit beforehand. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at Stackpole all year round, and there are plenty of places to take your four-legged friend while you're here. Please help keep Stackpole enjoyable for everyone by keeping your dog under close control, cleaning up after them and following the guidance below.
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.
Stackpole is a one pawprint rated place.
These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.
Dogs are welcome across the wider Stackpole Estate, along the coast path from Stackpole Quay, and on the beach at Barafundle Bay, Broad Haven South and Freshwater West all year round.
They can also be taken inside visitor reception areas, the exhibition room, indoor picnic areas and the Boathouse tearoom.
There are many great walking routes across the Stackpole estate that are ideal to explore with your dog all year round. These take between one and three hours to complete. For more information, please speak to a member of the visitor welcome team.
There are water bowls outside every toilet block and plenty of bins for dog waste across the estate.
There are lots of farm animals across the Stackpole Estate, including cattle and occasionally ponies. The estate is also teeming with wildlife, including otters, water birds and ground nesting birds. We ask that you keep your dog under close control and on a lead if necessary. You are also advised not to leave your pet in the car, as our car parks offer very limited shade. Please speak to the visitor welcome team if you require any more information.
