Yes, you can take your dog to Corfe Castle! 🐾
The National Trust welcomes dogs at Corfe Castle, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
🐶 Dog Policy at Corfe Castle (as of latest guidance):
- ✅ Dogs are welcome on leads throughout the castle ruins and grounds
- ✅ Water bowls are often available at the entrance and café
- ✅ Dogs are also allowed on the circular walks around the castle and village
☕ Dog-Friendly Extras
- The Tea Room (in the village) has dog-friendly outdoor seating
- The Corfe Castle village itself is very dog-welcoming, with many pubs and cafés allowing dogs
⚠️ A Few Things to Note:
- Due to the steep steps, uneven ground, and drops around the ruins, dogs should be kept on a lead at all times
- Some areas may be tricky for nervous or older dogs, especially in busy seasons
- Always clean up after your dog—bins are available
🐕 Bonus Tip:
Why not pair your visit with a dog-friendly walk on the Purbeck Hills? There are great trails starting from Corfe Castle with views over the ruins and toward the coast.
