Forest of Dean and Wye Valley

We know that adventures are better with your four-legged friend by your side - and in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley, dogs are truly part of the pack. With miles of woodland trails, riverside walks, dog-friendly pubs, accommodation, and attractions, this is the ideal destination for a tail-wagging getaway.

In this section, you’ll find everything you need to plan a pawsome trip, including places to stay that welcome dogs, cafés and pubs with water bowls and treats at the ready, and businesses offering dog-friendly days out and services. Whether you’re looking for dog-walking routes, canine-friendly campsites, or just somewhere your pup can curl up after a day of exploring, we’ve got you covered.

We believe no one should miss out on the adventure - especially not the dog! So come and explore the wild and wonderful Dean Wye, where walkies come with views, and your dog is always welcome.

Sniff out the best dog-friendly stays, places to eat, and days out below, and start planning your next adventure together.
