Often described as the ‘Garden of England’ Kent is a fantastic place to go on holiday with your four legged friends. The choice of walks and landscapes are endless. You can spend your days roaming ancient woodland trails, admiring the views from clifftop paths or exploring historic estates. The easy circular walks in the Ham Street Woods National Nature Reserve or Shorne Woods Country park are perfect for relaxed days out or blow the cobwebs away with the infamous clifftop path at the White Cliffs of Dover where you can enjoy fantastic views across the English Channel. If you are looking to combine historic sites with a dose of fresh coastal air you can wind your way along Kent's ancient coastline from Deal to Sandwich taking in Deal castle, sand dunes and bird spotting opportunities along the way.
Other dog friendly attractions include exploring the 80 acres of grounds at Dover Castle or visiting the former home of Anne Boleyn at Hever Castle and Gardens. With 125 acres of grounds to explore including a lakeside walk and Tudor and Italian Gardens there is plenty to keep all two and four legged friends happy here. If you are looking for something a little bit different you can hop on board a heritage train at the Spa Valley Railway or Kent and East Sussex Railway where you can enjoy the Kent countryside whilst allowing the train to take the strain.
As one of the country’s oldest cities, Canterbury should definitely be on list of places to visit in Kent.

Whether you are looking for somewhere to stay that has walks from the front door, or cosy fires to curl up in front of, we have a great selection of dog-friendly cottages to choose from.
