Hanbury Hall

Hanbury Hall is a National Trust country-house estate near Droitwich Spa where dogs on short leads are welcome across the majority of the gardens, parkland, stableyard and courtyard. The Hall itself and a few formal garden areas – including the Parterre and Formal Fruit Garden – are restricted to assistance dogs only, but there's plenty of outdoor space to explore with ordinary pets.

The Stables Café welcomes dogs inside, so you can settle in with a drink or bite while your four-legged companion keeps paws on the ground beside you. The Courtyard Kitchen is assistance-dogs-only, but the Stables gives you a proper indoor option when the weather turns.

The estate has official on-site parking with disabled spaces and opening hours are generous: gardens and parkland from 9am to 5pm, the Hall from 10am to 4pm and the Stables Café from 9:30am to 4:30pm. It's a solid day out for dog owners who want historic surroundings, good outdoor access and the bonus of an indoor cafe welcome.
