Welcome to Cumbria, the official ‘Canine Capital’ of the UK. Dogs are a member of the family in over a quarter of the UK’s households, so we know exactly how to best take care of them: there are more than 100 miles of coastline for dogs to enjoy, including 29 beaches – many with no seasonal restrictions in place. Your four-legged friends are welcome on-board lake cruises while many attractions welcome hounds to their grounds too, including some historic houses, parks and gardens. A warm welcome also awaits dogs at many indoor attractions. Check out ourpage of dog-friendly places to stay in the Lake District too. And did you know that Keswick was named the country’s most dog-friendly town? So bring your four-legged friend and let us take care of them: after all, we have a reputation to maintain!
