Kent's attractions and accommodation providers are rolling out the welcome mat for our four-legged pals, making family outings with the dog in Kent a breeze!

Wander the grounds of historic landmarks or explore many of Kent's show-stopping gardens, where well-behaved pups are invited to roam alongside you. Prefer the great outdoors? Head for the coast, where Kent's dog-friendly beaches offer plenty of space to stretch those legs, or take to the water with a canoe trip along Kent's rivers with your dog by your side.

When it's time to refuel, Kent's dog-friendly cafes, pubs, and restaurants are ready to welcome you both with a bowl of water and, often, a treat for good behaviour. Even getting around is easy, with dogs welcome on many bus and train services across the county.

Explore our top dog-friendly attractions, walks, and places to stay, and start planning your next tail-wagging day out in Kent.
