Berry Pomeroy Castle

Berry Pomeroy · TQ9 6LJ

A romantic Tudor ruin in a wooded valley outside Totnes, reputedly the most haunted castle in Devon. English Heritage lists it as one of its dog-friendly Devon sites, with dogs on leads; the approach is a single narrow lane, so parking is the constraint rather than the dog.

Beach 5.6 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Goodrington Sands

Two miles of sand south of Paignton, divided into North and South Sands by the Youngs Park stream and the water park. North Sands is open to dogs all year; South Sands is closed to them from May to the end of September, so the stream is effectively the boundary in summer.

Beach 5.7 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Paignton Sands

The big red-sand resort beach beside Paignton pier and green. It is closed to dogs for the whole season under Torbay Council's restrictions, in part to hold its bathing water and Blue Flag standards, and the promenade alongside requires dogs to be leaded. Goodrington North Sands, a mile south, is the year-round alternative.

Beach 5.7 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Broadsands Beach

A sheltered crescent of sand under the Brunel viaduct between Paignton and Churston, popular with families and steam railway watchers. It is on Torbay's restricted list, closed to dogs all season; Elberry Cove, a short walk round the point, is open to dogs all year.

78%OFF-ROAD

A 3.6-mile there-and-back along the coast path from the sandstone headland at Roundham over Goodrington to the underwater nature reserve at Saltern Cove and Sugarloaf Hill, about two hours with 190 metres of climbing on surfaced promenade, cliff path and a good many steps. Park on the Goodrington seafront or at Roundham Head above the harbour, both pay-and-display and both busy from mid-morning in summer; the Paignton to Kingswear steam railway runs alongside the middle of the route. The dog rules here need reading before you set off: Paignton Sands, Preston Sands, Goodrington South Sands and Broadsands all bar dogs from 1 May to 30 September, while Goodrington North Sands, Saltern Cove and Elberry Cove stay open all year, and on the promenade beside a closed beach a lead is required.

Beach 5.8 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Preston Sands

The northern half of Paignton's seafront, backed by a green and a long row of beach huts. Like Paignton Sands it is on Torbay's restricted list and closed to dogs right through the summer, and the seafront path beside it is a lead-on stretch.

South Devon Railway

Buckfastleigh

Seven miles of preserved steam line up the Dart valley from Totnes to Buckfastleigh. Well-behaved dogs are always welcome and travel on a dog ticket costing two pounds fifty, bought online or at the ticket office; they cannot travel on the Dining Experience or Murder Mystery trains.

A 3.4-mile loop of the whole 450-acre estate, an hour and a half on tarmac drives, laid paths and bridleways through parkland, water meadows, three ornamental lakes and the woods above Manscombe, with only 110 metres of climbing. Park in the pay-and-display car park by Cockington Court, five minutes from Torre Abbey and served by town buses, and note that the shorter lake circuit is fully surfaced if the woodland tracks are wet. Dogs are welcome across the park and there is water in the lakes and the stream, though the ornamental rose garden and the craft studios are best done on a lead; the Drum Inn at the village end takes dogs and serves food daily.

A coaching inn on the Dartmouth quayside with two bars, log fires and rooms over the harbour. It is one of St Austell Brewery's managed houses, so dogs are welcome throughout the pub with a water bowl and biscuits as standard, and the hotel sells a dog-friendly stay outright rather than treating it as a favour.

Beach 7.2 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Torre Abbey Sands

Torquay

The main town beach at Torquay, a broad strip of sand below the seafront road and Torre Abbey gardens. Torbay Council closes it to dogs for the whole of the summer season, and the promenade above requires dogs to be on a lead where it runs beside a restricted beach. Out of season it is one of the easiest walks in the bay.

Livestock — leads on

A 3.2-mile circuit of about an hour and three quarters that climbs the lanes above Blackpool Sands to Strete for the long view over Slapton Ley to Start Point, then drops back to the beach on coast path, with 180 metres of climbing and muddy field sections after rain. The obvious start is the paid beach car park at Blackpool Sands on the A379, and this is the catch: the beach owners operate a Blue Flag seasonal ban that keeps dogs off the beach, out of the café and out of the car parks from 1 May to 30 September, so between those dates park in Strete instead and walk the loop the other way. Out of season it is one of the friendliest short walks on this coast, with shingle to throw stones on and sheltered water; in season expect stock in the fields, quiet but fast lanes, and no dog access to the sand at all.

A demanding 4.9 miles round the mouth of the Dart, three hours or so with 330 metres of climbing, long flights of steps, woodland path and metalled lanes between the two castles and the wartime battery at Froward Point. Start from the marina car park in Kingswear, which is private and paid, or come over on the Lower Ferry from Dartmouth and pick the walk up on foot; the Paignton steam train also stops in the village from April to October. Dogs cope well with the steps but the descent to the battery is steep and exposed, skylarks nest on the Coleton grassland so leads are asked for in spring and early summer, and the only water on the route is the tap at the Froward Point visitor hut when it is open.

Dartmouth Castle

Dartmouth · TQ6 0JN

A gun fort wedged into the rocks at the mouth of the Dart, reached by a mile of coast path or the seasonal ferry from the town. English Heritage lists it among its dog-friendly places, with dogs on leads welcome around the site; the standing request is that leads go on around livestock and that you clear up.

Beach 7.9 mi SOME LIMITS No dogs today · back OCT

Blackpool Sands

Stoke Fleming

A privately run crescent of coarse sand in a wooded bay between Dartmouth and Slapton, with Blue Flag status and a paid car park. The owners exclude dogs entirely for the summer, and the ban covers the cafe and the car parks as well as the beach, so there is nowhere to leave a dog while you swim. Out of season dogs have the run of the whole beach.
