Woodstock combines a compact historic town with Blenheim’s parkland for a fuller day outdoors. Choose the Bear for a stay in Woodstock itself or the Killingworth Castle for a village-inn base at Wootton. The latter has just two dog rooms and three dog-friendly dining tables, so room and meal arrangements need to be made together.

Plan a parkland outing using Blenheim’s current dog-visit information and admission arrangements. Pick a comfortable route rather than treating the whole estate as one walk.
Dogs must stay on leads. Formal gardens and restricted indoor areas are excluded; follow the current dog map and keep clear of livestock and electric fences.
Use the town council’s downloadable walk to explore streets and historic features. Its approximately 1.1-mile route starts on Park Street; you can shorten it if needed.
Keep your dog on a lead on pavements and crossings. The walk does not establish dog entry to museums, churches or private premises.
Arrive at the hotel or village inn and make a short town walk while there is time. If staying in Wootton, allow for the extra journey. Return for the dog-friendly table you arranged; at the Killingworth Castle, leaving the dog in the bedroom is not an alternative.
Day two · make Blenheim the main outing
Check the current dog map and ticket arrangements before visiting the parkland. Keep the route modest, use a lead and respect the garden and building exclusions. If a large estate visit is too much, enjoy the remaining town-walk stops instead.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.
THE DETAILS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Good to know before you go
Reserve room and table together
The Killingworth Castle’s two dog bedrooms do not guarantee one of its three suitable dining tables.
Follow the current dog map
Blenheim has different access rules for parkland, gardens and buildings; a ticket is not blanket dog permission.
Your Woodstock questions
Which Killingworth Castle rooms accept dogs?
