Dog Friendly Walks In Totnes

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome to explore the grounds of Totnes Castle, one of the town’s most iconic landmarks. This classic Norman motte and bailey castle sits high above Totnes, offering sweeping views across the rooftops and down towards the River Dart. Pack a picnic, climb to the top and soak up the scenery with your four legged companion by your side.

For waterside walks, the River Dart and nearby Dart Valley Trail provide miles of scenic routes to explore together. Follow peaceful riverside paths through the South Devon countryside, hop aboard a ferry to discover hidden corners along the water or simply wander at your own pace while taking in the views.

If you want to venture a bit further afield, Dartmoor is perfect for dog friendly walks, with infinite open moorland, granite tors and peaceful trails to explore. Wander riverside paths, climb a tor or two and enjoy wide open skies before heading back to the pub.
