Happy National Dog Day! 🐾 If your pup fancies swapping the sofa for a proper adventure, Lindisfarne Castle is ready to roll out the welcome mat — one pawprint dog-friendly, in fact. Wander the small walled garden designed by Gertrude Jekyll in 1911, explore the castle grounds, and stretch those legs on the surrounding trails.
Just remember: keep dogs on a short lead at all times — Holy Island is shared with sheep, lambs, and ground-nesting birds, who’d rather not make friends today.
A walk with history, sea air, and a very good sniffer-approved route? That’s a tail-wagging win. 🐶✨ For more information about the Glebe House, visit https://www.glebehousemuseum.org
