Dogs and Cowden Garden
"Are we allowed to bring dogs to the Japanese Garden?" Is one of our most regularly asked questions.
We do not permit Pets or Emotional Support Animals in the Traditional Japanese Garden and Christie Walk only Assistance Dogs are permitted.
However, all dogs are allowed in the Stewart Woodland, Lime Tree Avenue and Lawns. We ask that dogs are kept on their lead at all times while on Cowden Estate, thank you.
