Dog friendly in East Anglia

The East of England is a brilliant region to explore with a dog, especially if you like your walkies served with sea air, open space and routes that don’t feel overcomplicated. There are long stretches of coastline where dogs are welcome, with beaches, dunes and wide views that suit everything from a quick morning wander to an all-day stomp. Inland, footpaths, woodland trails and parks keep things varied through the seasons, with plenty of options for quieter routes if your dog prefers a calmer pace. You’ll also find historic landscapes and gardens where dogs on leads can join you for the outdoor parts of the visit, plus secure dog fields in some areas for off-lead exercise in a more controlled space. When it’s time to rest, there’s a strong choice of dog friendly accommodation, from coastal retreats and cottages to hotels and glamping, many offering the kind of welcome that makes travelling with a dog feel easy. Add in pubs, cafés and eateries that happily greet muddy paws and you’ve got a destination that works for two and four legs.
