Painshill Park is a beautiful 18th-century English landscape garden, featuring a mix of naturalistic landscapes and classical architectural elements. The park offers scenic walks and picturesque views across Cobham. It is also home to one of England’s oldest vineyards so is a great place to explore. Dogs are welcome to explore but must be kept on leads.

When taking your dog out for the day here are 4 tips of what to do to make sure it’s enjoyable for everyone involved.

1. Know The Rules: Dogs are often welcome but many places require dogs to be kept on a lead. Make sure you know what is expected before you visit.
2. Keep It Clean: Poo bags are a must when taking your dog on a day out. Make sure you clean up after them and use the waste bins provided.
3. Keep Your Dog Hydrated: Exploring new places is thirsty work.  Water & a travel bowl is a must, especially during warmer months.
4. Respect The Wildlife: Be mindful of wildlife and other visitors, particularly in natural reserves and parks.
