Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.A THOUGHTFUL SELECTION · 3 LOCAL GUIDES
Warwickshire's selected guides give you three distinct town breaks: Stratford-upon-Avon's riverside Recreation Ground with a separate Charlecote visit, Warwick's St Nicholas and Priory parks, or Royal Leamington Spa's formal gardens and wider open space. The estate and garden rules differ, so check each guide before setting off. Charlecote's dog routes are limited to designated areas; Jephson Gardens requires leads. This is a selected starting point, not a directory of every Warwickshire destination.
PLACES TO MAKE YOUR OWN
Each guide brings together researched stays, dog-friendly outings and practical details for that place.

Royal Leamington Spa offers a garden-and-open-space break, with Jephson Gardens for a gentle first outing and Newbold Comyn for more room to explore. The selected hotels are outside the central garden streets: Holiday Inn at Tachbrook Park and Mallory Court at Bishops Tachbrook. Choose your base around travel and dog-room arrangements before planning the walks.

Stratford-upon-Avon can be a riverside-and-park break with your dog, without depending on access to theatres or historic interiors. The DoubleTree gives you a town base; the Charlecote Pheasant is in a separate village near the National Trust estate. Match the room to your travel plans, then pair a gentle Recreation Ground outing with Charlecote’s permitted dog routes.

Warwick makes a compact historic-town break with two useful green-space outings. Choose between High Street and Market Place accommodation, start with St Nicholas Park, then give Priory Park its own unhurried visit. The castle is part of the town’s setting, but this dog itinerary focuses on public parks rather than assuming pets can join an indoor attraction visit.

Choose a riverside town, a historic centre with two parks, or a spa town with formal gardens and a larger open space.
Choose Stratford for a gentle town-side walk along the Avon, with Charlecote Park as a separate estate visit. Dogs may use designated Front Park routes only; deer sanctuaries, the house and several interiors exclude pet dogs.
Choose Warwick for two separate town-park outings at St Nicholas Park and Priory Park. Keep each walk modest and follow current signs around play, sports and shared spaces.
Choose Leamington for an on-lead stroll through Jephson Gardens and a separate, roomier outing at Newbold Comyn. The listed hotels are outside the central garden streets, so allow for the local journey.
