Enjoy a winter wander with your dog
Known for sweeping beaches and wild cliff-top walks, Cornwall is an outdoor lover’s paradise – especially in the winter months, when the summer crowds dwindle and your pup can run freely across the sandy shores. With beach bans lifted, there’s no better time to make the most of the county’s beautiful coastline.
Some of our favourite walks to take your dog in Cornwall include:
- Perranporth Beach – with vast stretches of golden sand and plenty of dog-friendly cafés nearby for delicious hot chocolates (and pup treats!), you’re in safe hands in this popular coastal destination.
- South West Coast Path – We’re surrounded by hundreds of miles of coast path in Cornwall, and there’s no better time to get out and enjoy it. Wrap up warm and enjoy stunning sea views while your dog explores the rugged cliffs and hidden coves (but keep a lead on where mine shafts might be present!). Head to Pentire Headland, and you can even pop into our dog-friendly sister venue, Lewinnick Lodge, for a post-walk pint.
- Ladock Woods – this idyllic woodland is just minutes from The Plume’s front door, perfect for a frosty morning stroll, with trails for all abilities.
After a bracing walk, Cornwall’s dog-friendly pubs and tearooms welcome muddy paws and wagging tails. As a county of dog lovers, you’ll never be hard-pressed for pit stops! In fact, here at The Plume, there’s nothing better than winding down with your dog in front of our cosy log fire after a good stomp.
