Dog-Friendly Wadebridge: Camel Trail, Pubs and Beaches

Short answer: Wadebridge is great with a dog: the Camel Trail welcomes dogs under control, Pencarrow House & Garden is dog friendly, and St Kew Inn lets dogs into all areas. Reviewers report dogs welcome at Seasmiths, Sorella, Dollies and Strong Adolfos. For the beach, Polzeath bans dogs 15 May–30 September (10am–6pm); Daymer Bay and Rock aren't on the council's ban list.

With a traffic-free trail on the doorstep and estuary beaches nearby, Wadebridge is one of the best dog bases in north Cornwall.

Beaches: where dogs can go
