Dog-friendly attractions in Ripon

Narrowboat trips aboard the Pride of Ripon from the canal basin at Bondgate Green, running down the Ripon Canal towards the Ure. Dogs are welcome aboard, and there is free parking at the basin so you can walk the towpath afterwards.

England's largest monastic ruin and the Georgian water garden beside it, a World Heritage Site four miles from Ripon. Dogs on short leads are welcome in all the outdoor spaces, from the abbey nave to the moon ponds and the deer park, and even in the visitor centre restaurant; water bowls and dog bins are dotted around the estate. Only Fountains Hall, Porters Lodge, the Studley tearoom and the play area are off limits.
