Pet Friendly Holidays in Devon

Devon is well loved for its great surf and golden sandy beaches offering two coastlines to discover. Both North Devon and South Devon's coast feature fantastic dog friendly beaches all year round. Inland Devon is largely rural providing plenty of lovely country walks. Dartmoor National Park situated in the centre of the county, offers miles of scenic moorland and circular walking paths. In North Devon, the Exmoor National Park, borders with Somerset and takes in unspoilt countryside and spectacular coastal scenery.

Dog Friendly Walks

There are over 30 miles of paths available to walkers and cyclists using the old railways of North Devon, known as the Tarka Trail. Many of these walks have easy access and are suitable for use by cyclists, wheelchairs and pushchairs.  Torridge Estuary Rail Trail follows the Tarka Trail between Instow and Bideford. Since the route uses a former railway, it is an easier walk but takes in stunning countryside and panoramic views of the Torridge Estuary.  The Promenade at Instow offers a superb view of the estuary where it meets the River Taw. The South West Coast Path features over 630 miles of the stunning Cornish and Devon coastlines so there is plenty of great walking. Throughout the region, there is a great range of walks to suit easy access to more challenging terrain, including coastal settings, former railways, woodland walks and designated pub walks.

Pet friendly holidays in Devon are great as many of the visitor attractions in the region will welcome dogs. The South Devon Railway allows dogs on board and takes in the scenic route through the River Dart Valley, between Buckfastleigh and Totnes. Many pubs in Devon will welcome dogs, allowing you to enjoy a pint of local ale or cider following your day’s walking.
