You are here: Things To Do > Dog Friendly
Our area welcomes dogs (and their owners!) with a great many places to eat and stay which allow dogs as well as plenty of dog friendly attractions and activities. See below for our full range of things to do here with your dog and check out our dog friendly walks page here.
How about hiring a bike with dog trailer and going for a ride in the Forest? Or taking your pooch for a steam train ride? Many of our watersports providers allow you to bring your dog so you could try canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding or all join a boat tour for a gentle cruise down the Wye. Explore a castle or ruin, book a tour or experience and of course make sure you stop in a beer garden after your walk, book a table in one of our dog friendly cafes or restaurants and enjoy a dog friendly holiday in the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley!
