Kenilworth Castle is an easy day out with a dog: English Heritage allows dogs on leads. The Elizabethan Garden there is a recreation of the one Robert Dudley made for Elizabeth I’s visit in 1575, so you get a proper ruin and a garden with a story. Check English Heritage’s website before you go, as access can differ between areas and on event days.
Warwickshire has county pages for trainers, vets and swimming spots. Sitters, groomers, rescue and pet transport go to the UK-wide guides, so treat this page as a shortcut to what exists.

Castle days out with a dog
Historic sites have uneven ground, stairs and other visitors. Go early if you can, keep the lead short around crowds, and take water. Never leave a dog in a parked car, particularly on a warm day. If your dog is nervous around strangers, pick a quiet corner of the grounds and take your time.
Evening walks
Winter evenings get dark early. A light-up LED dog collar from Calmshops helps you keep sight of your dog. For hands-on help with focus around distractions, see our Warwickshire trainers page.
