1.7MILES

85%OFF-ROAD

Open parkland off Wigton Road on the west side of the city, laid out over medieval ridge and furrow that still shows in low sun. A network of surfaced paths links the restored Georgian Garden, the Manor grounds with their old trees and rebuilt ha-ha, a hay meadow that is cut once a year, and football pitches. It is a good short-legged or elderly-dog walk: nothing steep, everything surfaced, and a free car park at the community centre. Cumberland Council states no lead requirement and no exclusion here, only the duty to clear up, which carries a fine up to £1,000.

Livestock — leads on Off-lead allowed Water bowls

Four and a half miles and about an hour and fifty minutes on level ground, from St Lawrence's church at the foot of Boroughgate along the Eden and out through the town's Woodland Walk to the loop above the river. It starts in the middle of Appleby-in-Westmorland, where the Chapel Street and Sands car parks are free for a couple of hours and the Settle-Carlisle line stops in the town. The riverside is the best of it for a dog - broad grassy banks, gravel shallows for a drink, and the woodland stretch enclosed for off-lead running. The riverside meadows are grazed and can hold cattle from May, the Eden runs fast and deep after rain, and the horse fair week in June changes the whole character of the town.

Livestock — leads on

Six and a quarter miles and about three hours for 250 metres of climb, up the broad green track from Askham onto the open limestone commons and out to the Cockpit, a Bronze Age ring on the old Roman road above Ullswater. It starts on the wide green in Askham village, where there is free roadside parking for a couple of dozen cars either side of the green - the only free parking of its kind this close to Ullswater. The going is short dry turf on ancient tracks, easy for a dog and with big open views, but this is unfenced common grazed by sheep and Fell ponies all year, the ground holds nesting curlew and lapwing from April to July when leads are essential, and there is no water at all on the fell.

Livestock — leads on

The city's standard dog circuit: out of the Bitts Park car park on Dacre Road behind the castle, east along the Eden past the bowling greens, over the Memorial suspension bridge into Rickerby Park, a loop of the park to the obelisk and back down the north bank to Eden Bridge. Rickerby Park is grazed, so there is stock on the grass most of the year and the field gates matter more than the map does. The return leg runs west through Bitts Park to the Sheepmount athletics ground, where the Hadrian's Wall Path carries on along the river. Cumberland Council's PSPO puts no lead requirement on either park, but it does exclude dogs from the fenced play area and skate park, which sit right on the line of the walk.

Livestock — leads on Water bowls Off-lead allowed

Five and three quarter miles and about two and a half hours on almost flat ground, out of Penrith along the Eamont to the red sandstone keep of Brougham Castle and back by Brougham Hall's craft yards. It starts in Penrith town centre, ten minutes from the station on the West Coast main line, and the town's Sandgate and Bluebell Lane car parks are paid but inexpensive. The riverside path is level, shaded and gives constant water access, and dogs are welcome in the outer grounds of Brougham Hall and in its courtyard cafes; the field paths between are grazed by cattle in summer, there are two narrow squeeze stiles, and a quarter mile of the return uses the verge of a busy lane.

Livestock — leads on

Natural England's reserve on the Solway plain, roughly eight miles from both Carlisle and Wigton on the B5307, and one of the largest patches of woodland, wet heath and rough pasture left in the lowlands here. There are two waymarked trails from the Haverlands Green lay-by, including a two kilometre blue route firm enough for limited mobility. Cattle and sheep graze the reserve all year and there are adders on the heath, both of which are the stated reasons for the lead rule. Ticks are present and Lyme disease occurs in this part of the county, so check the dog over afterwards.

Attraction DOGS WELCOME

Ullswater 'Steamers'

Glenridding · CA11 0US
No reviews yet

Historic vessels working between Glenridding, Howtown, Aira Force and Pooley Bridge, and the neatest way to walk the Ullswater Way one-way. It is a dog-friendly attraction and dogs travel on the boats with you; the Howtown to Glenridding shore path is the classic sailing-and-walking combination.

Attraction SOME LIMITS

Carlisle Cathedral

Carlisle · CA3 8TZ
No reviews yet

Since 25 November 2023 the cathedral has admitted dogs to the main building as well as the grounds, which makes it one of the few indoor wet-weather stops in the city you can take a dog into. A water bowl is kept opposite the main door. The rule is one dog per adult, on a short lead, and it does not extend to services, to the tours that go above ground level, or to the Treasury. Guide, therapy and assistance dogs were already admitted and are unaffected.

Rheged

Penrith
No reviews yet

A grass-roofed visitor centre built into a hillside on the edge of Penrith, with independent shops, a deli, a cinema and a large cafe: the wet-day answer for the northern Lakes. Dogs are allowed in the foyer, the deli, all the shops and the lower booths of the cafe, but not in the gallery, the design shop or the childrens area.

Last checked in Eden: 30 JUL 2026

Every listing here carries the date a human confirmed it. Councils change beach rules and pubs change landlords, so when a stamp goes stale we go back rather than quietly leave it up.

Know one we have missed?

Tell us the pub we have not walked into yet.

Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.

Get the new stamps first.

One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
