We’re delighted to support pooches and their people enjoying nature together, and that’s why our partnership with the National Trust is so important to us.

Enjoy the great outdoors together

Pooch Passports are Back!
Exploring the many spaces the National Trust cares for is a joy any time, but especially when you can grab your pooch a passport and earn stamps for each unique visit.
As part of the ‘Dogs Welcome’ project, collect 6 stamps and your canine companion will receive a bag of Forthglade National Trust treats full of natural goodness. Once you reach 12 stamps during the 6-month Pooch Passport season, you’ll receive a limited-edition National Trust dog collar tag.
133 places the National Trust care for will be participating in this year’s ‘Pooch Passport’ fun.

Dogs are welcome
You can now enjoy 87% of National Trust spaces with your entire family.
We’re passionate about increasing access for four-legged family members at the many spaces cared for by the National Trust through our joint ‘Dogs Welcome’ project.
Our Pawprint Rating:
When planning your next Trust visit, you can use the ‘pawprint rating’ system to give you an idea of how dog friendly a space is (ratings available on properties webpages & in your National Trust Handbook).

More dog-friendly spaces & new facilities
The number of two and three pawprint-rated spaces has increased with new facilities including more trails for you and your dog, waste bins, wash-down areas and drinking stations. Dogs can stay for free at 300 National Trust holiday cottages and 20 campsites – an ideal way to enjoy a staycation with your two and four-legged family.

Ceinwein Paynton, National Project Manager, Dogs Welcome:
"The Dogs Welcome Project, funded by Forthglade, is supporting the National Trust’s work to become more dog friendly. In the last three years, we have doubled the number of 3 pawprint places - the ones that are best for dogs and their families to visit on their days out.
In 2024, we helped improved the facilities for visitors with dogs at 23 National Trust places and we’ve been working hard together to provide training and guidance for staff to help them provide a better welcome. A key focus of our work this year is more dog-friendly gardens and help for visitors with dogs to get the most out of visits to the countryside."
