Yes, dogs are very welcome. We provide a free washing station for muddy and sandy paws, a secure off-lead exercise area , a brand-new dog agility course and fresh water bowls positioned throughout the park.

During high season, grab a delicious breakfast butty from the Café at the Gates or a freshly baked pastry, along with a barista-style coffee.
