There are so many things to do at Chatsworth for all the family, including your dogs, and every visit supports the work of Chatsworth House Trust, the registered charity that cares for the house, collections, garden, parkland and woodland, and our learning and outreach programme.
Whether you are looking for a new walk to discover together, or a space to relax with refreshments, discover all you need to know about visiting with your dog.
Dog friendly stops
Garden and park
Four-legged friends are welcome everywhere in the garden and park - although please keep them on lead at all times.
Carriage House Café
A self-service café offering hot food, salads, sandwiches, cakes and more. Plus, a dog friendly seating area inside.
Food to go
All of our food to go outlets have plenty of seating nearby, perfect for a pit stop with your pooch.
Gift shops
Be sure to stop in with your doggo for treats, toys, accessories and more - it's a hound haven!
Dog walks
We've put together three of our favourite walks in the area - perfect for dogs and their owners. Download your copy through the link below.
Doggy dos and don'ts
We welcome well-behaved dogs throughout the garden and park, however as there is wildlife and livestock roaming in these areas, please do keep them on lead at all times. Apart from assistance dogs, due to the fragile nature of some of the items on display, dogs are not allowed in the house. This is also the case for the farmyard and playground, as the animals can be disturbed by even the most well behaved dogs.
Please do not leave your dog in the car. There are posts where dogs can be left outside the farmyard, and new posts near the Game Larder adjacent to the car park.
Please pick up after your dog and dispose of bags in any of the general rubbish bins provided. Please let a member of staff know if you are unable to find a bin.
Doggy drinking stations are available near the toilets, adjacent to the gate that leads to the entrance to the house, and also in the Stables courtyard near the Carriage House Café exit. Please ask a member of staff if you have difficulty locating them.
Assistance dogs are welcome in the house, garden, and park and puppies in assistance dog training are welcome in the house as long as they are house trained. Learn more about accessibility at Chatsworth.
We hope you have a 'paw-some' day, and don't forget to share your visit on social using #Chatswoof.
Meet Henry
