Cornwall is a paradise for dogs and their owners. With over 300 miles of coastline, Cornwall offers some of the most scenic and varied walks in the UK. Whether you prefer sandy beaches, rugged cliffs, or wooded valleys, you’ll find a trail that suits your pup’s personality and energy level.
Cornwall is also home to many dog-friendly attractions, such as gardens, castles, museums, and even a seal sanctuary. You can explore the rich history and culture of this region with your furry friend by your side. And when you need a break, you can relax in one of the many pubs, cafes, or restaurants that welcome dogs with open arms.
But what makes Cornwall truly special for dogs is its abundance of dog-friendly beaches. Unlike other parts of the UK, Cornwall has over 80 beaches that allow dogs all year round1. That means you can enjoy the sun, sea, and sand with your best buddy anytime you want. Whether you want to splash in the waves, dig in the sand, or chase a ball, you’ll find a beach that’s perfect for you and your dog.
Some of the best dog-friendly beaches in Cornwall are Fistral Beach, Kynance Cove, and Sennen Cove, which are spectacular beaches with turquoise waters. You can also visit St Ives, a seaside town with long golden beaches and excellent surfing conditions, or Fowey, a snug and handsome sea-meets-estuary town where you can take a ferry to Polruan or comb the beach at Readymoney Cove.
If you’re looking for more adventure, you can head to some of the iconic landmarks and attractions that showcase Cornwall’s nature and history. You can visit St Michael’s Mount, a tidal island with a medieval castle and a sub-tropical garden, or The Lost Gardens of Heligan, one of the largest botanical gardens in Europe3. You can also marvel at The Eden Project, one of the most visited attractions in the UK, which features two huge biomes that house plants from around the world.
You can also explore some of the charming towns and villages in Cornwall that have their own unique character and charm. You can visit Padstow, a fishing port with a reputation for seafood and a popular cycle trail along the Camel Estuary, or Port Isaac, a picturesque village that has been featured in many films and TV shows, such as Doc Martin. You can also discover Tintagel Castle, the legendary birthplace of King Arthur, or Land’s End, the most westerly point of mainland England.
So if you’re looking for a holiday destination that will make both you and your dog happy, look no further than Cornwall. It’s a place where you can have fun, relax, and bond with your four-legged companion. Cornwall is more than just a county – it’s a dog lover’s dream.
This jagged southwestern coast of England can be broken down into three dog-friendly categories, which are: beaches, walking and sightseeing. A combination of these achieves the blend of “day out for everyone” and “dog friendly” without compromising on either.
The golden beaches of Cornwall have a reputation for bringing in flocks of both British and international tourists to their shores every Summer, and it’s not just the famous St Ives Bay which makes that the case. All the previously mentioned towns and villages will have a “local”, but there are some exemplary dog-friendly beaches if you’re willing to move around which include Porthkidney Beach, Constantine Bay Beach, Holywell Bay Beach, Watergate Bay Beach and Duckpool Beach.
Walking opportunities in Cornwall are seemingly endless for first time visitors, and that doesn’t even need to include the stretches of sand you can sink your toes into (although you can if you want to). What makes the area particularly impressive is how much choice there is when you consider that it’s actually quite a small part of the country.
Whether it’s the sprawling coastal path, where you can enjoy views of Land’s End, or the multiple gardens in stately houses and castles such as The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Pinetum Gardens, or Trebah Garden, there is ample room to roam and ensure all six legs are suitably stretched for your and your dog.
If you’re not really a beach-person, prefer to engage with the sightseeing or cultural elements of an area, or just want to get a taste of both, then Cornwall is a stellar destination.
There’s the Eden Project for conservationists and nature-lovers alike, the Geevor Tin Mine for the museum-dwellers and knowledge-buffs, Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm for the foodies who don’t mind a tipple or two, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway for the activity-seekers, and of course The Minack Theatre for the culture-crazed (it’s also outdoors, so the dogs can absorb some theatre too).
Since 1980, the Tate St Ives has also managed Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, adding a second unmissable museum in St Ives to your must-see list – quite a feat for such a small town! It’s dedicated to the work of 20th century sculptor, Barabara Hepworth, with excellent walking routes through the expansive, impressive gardens.
Land’s End in Sennen is another one of Cornwall’s star players. This landmark attraction is the most westerly part of England, on the Penwith peninsula, with breathtaking views of the waves crashing against craggy rocks. For those looking to really make the most of this part of the world, there is a strenuous but extremely rewarding walking path all the way from St Ives, along Penwith peninsula, to Land’s End.
