Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Brougham Castle dog friendly?

  Yes, dogs are welcome at Brougham Castle, and there's a good amount of level grass inside the walls for them to enjoy. They do need to be kept on leads throughout the site, and it's worth knowing that the private land by the river is off limits to dogs, so you'll need to stick to the castle grounds.

• Are dogs allowed at Brougham Castle year round?

  The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so they appear to be welcome whenever the castle is open. That said, it's always worth checking current opening times with English Heritage before you set off, especially outside peak season.

• What should I know before visiting Brougham Castle with my dog?

  The most important thing is that dogs are not permitted on the private land beside the river, so keep within the castle grounds during your visit. Parking is also something to plan ahead for — there's no on-site car park, only limited roadside space nearby which can fill up quickly in summer, so an early arrival is a good idea.
