Dogs

We welcome assistance dogs on our site but they need to be on their lead, under control and wearing their harness that states “working or assistance dog”. Assistance dogs in training are not allowed. Please clear up after your dog

We can’t allow other dogs on site due to the disturbance to wildlife on the reserve and the impact this can have on other visitors experience. You can walk dogs on a lead on the link path going west towards the Caerlaverock NNR and the castle (for more info about this ask at our admissions desk). Great care should be taken if leaving dogs in the car.
