Dogs at Bolton Castle

Please note dogs are not allowed in the Castle and due to the falconry experience we cannot allow dogs in the gardens as they can frighten the birds.

If you are intending to visit the Castle and Gardens we strongly recommend that you do not bring dogs, unless they can be appropriately looked after during your time here, for their own safety and comfort.

Dogs are welcome in the car parking field and there are numerous footpaths in the local area which are ideal for dog walking. Please keep dogs on the footpaths, under close control and always on leads around livestock.

You are welcome to fill water bowls using the tap adjacent to the public conveniences.

We are delighted to recommend the services of professional dog walker and pet sitter, Nicole Walker, who charges £8/hour and can be contacted at waggydales@outlook.com or mobile number 07493051202. Please confirm her availability and book well in advance.
