Dog friendly

Norfolk is a brilliant place to explore with a dog, with beaches, footpaths and open landscapes that suit everything from a short sniffy wander to a full day out. Many stretches of coast welcome dogs year-round, with plenty of room for sandy walks, dunes and sea air. Inland, you’ll find woodland trails, riverside routes and parks that make it easy to keep moving in any season. There are also lots of dog friendly places to stay and eat, often with a genuinely warm welcome, not just a tick-box policy.
