Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
Wiltshire · England · Town · Countryside
Marlborough can anchor a two-night countryside break with a choice between a town room and a village inn at Ramsbury. Avebury and Savernake Forest provide distinct days out, so choose one as the main excursion rather than chasing both in limited daylight. Dog-room availability is specific at both stays, and the difference between town and village matters as much as the fee.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER

Keep dogs controlled and on a short fixed lead in the Manor Garden, car park, farmyard, museum and shop. No pet dogs in Avebury Manor or Circles Café.
Official visitor informationPick a short woodland route from Forestry England’s visitor information. Keep an easy turnaround so the outing can fit the weather and your dog’s energy.
Keep dogs close and in sight, prevent wildlife chasing and use a lead when recall or signs require it.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Settle into the allocated dog room and arrange a meal together. Keep the first walk local rather than starting a late forest excursion after travelling.
Make Avebury the main visit if you want the stone-circle setting, or choose Savernake for woodland walking. Keep the other as a future option and return with time for a relaxed evening or departure.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
