Dogs at Sandringham

Bring your dog

With 20,000 acres of Royal Parkland to explore, Sandringham is the perfect place to enjoy a walk with your four-legged friends all year round.

The Estate has also teamed up with local dog trainer Beau’s Pawsitive Dog Training offering a large space for exclusive use for those who prefer their own space. Find out more here Beau’s Pawsitive Dog Website.

There are, however, some areas where they are not permitted, listed below. Please familiarise yourself with these before your visit.

Dogs are welcome: in the Royal Parkland, Courtyard area including the Sandringham Shop and Takeaway, Terrace Café and in dedicated areas of the Sandringham Restaurant.

Dogs are not permitted: in the House or Gardens. The exception is assistance dogs, which are always welcome in both.

While most four-legged visitors are extremely well-behaved, not all our visitors are dog-lovers so please follow the below guidelines for everyone’s comfort:

  • Keep dogs on short leads in areas where there are likely to be a higher concentration of visitors – such as near the Courtyard facilities and Children’s Play Area. We have many little people visiting, some of whom are not experienced with dogs wanting to play.
  • Clean up after your dog and use one of the bins provided, take away with you or adopt the ‘stick and flick’ method in woodland areas of the Royal Parkland to allow natural degradation away from footpaths. The primary objective of ‘stick and flick’ is to prevent considerable numbers of unsightly and hazardous dog-waste bags being disposed of under bushes or in trees.
  • Please do not leave your dog tied up and unattended, or alone in your car, especially during warm days or if they are distressed.
  • When walking in the wider Estate, please keep to footpaths and keep dogs under close control due to livestock grazing.
  • Please be aware that September and Autumn are the periods when cases of Canine Seasonal Illness have been seen at Sandringham in the past. Find out more about CSI here.
