Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens dog friendly?

  Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens is a great choice for dogs, earning a solid 8/10 on our dog friendly rating. Dogs are welcome throughout the gardens and woodland, and the Tea Rooms at the Woodland Centre also welcome dogs in the garden. The gentle terrain and lack of livestock make it a relaxed, low-stress visit for most dogs.

• Can dogs be off lead at Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens?

  Yes, dogs can be off lead throughout the gardens and woodland, which are naturally bounded by the valley sides. The main exceptions are near the miniature railway tracks and at the road crossings at Glenside and the cat-nap bridge, where a lead is recommended. There are no livestock in the area, so otherwise it's a pretty free-roaming walk.

• What should I know before visiting Saltburn Woodland Walk and Valley Gardens with my dog?

  The walk follows a stream through mature woodland and past the Italian Gardens before emerging at the beach and Saltburn's iconic pier, so it's worth knowing you'll need a lead for the road crossings and near the miniature railway (which runs April to October). The gentle gradient makes it well suited to older dogs or families with younger children. Parking is available at the top of Saltburn near the pier and cliff lift, or at the Valley Gardens entrance (TS12 1HQ).
