WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

The parish church of St Peter and St Paul fills the whole east side of Howden Market Place, and behind it stand the roofless fourteenth-century chancel and octagonal chapter house, kept by English Heritage and open to walk round at any reasonable daylight hours for nothing. English Heritage's own page for the site says dogs on leads are welcome, so you can take a dog right up to the tracery and the shattered vault. There is no car park and no access to the interior of the ruins, only the outside; use the pay and display in the Market Place and walk in through the churchyard gate off Hailgate. The ground inside the ruin is uneven old stone and nothing is fenced off, so keep a short lead.

THE SMALL PRINTEnglish Heritage's visitor page for Howden Minster states "Dogs on leads are welcome". The ruins have uneven surfaces and climbing on the stonework is not allowed.

More from the owner

Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.

Is this your attraction?

Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

Pub DOGS WELCOME

Bowmans Hotel

DN14 7AE
No reviews yet

A large open-plan bar with three distinct areas off it, on Bridgegate a couple of hundred yards down from Howden Market Place and the minster ruins, with nine letting rooms above and free parking behind. It is the biggest bar in the town and the one with room to spread out on a wet afternoon off the Ouse floodbank. CAMRA records the bar as dog friendly, with no area excluded. That is a branch survey rather than the hotel's own words, and no bedroom policy for dogs is published anywhere, so ring before you book a room with a dog.

Nobody has written one for Howden Minster. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.

Read by a human before it appears. We never publish your email, and the business can reply underneath but can never take a review down.
