Trenance Gardens

Trenance Gardens in Newquay is a big green space on the edge of town, perfect for a slower-paced day out when everyone needs a break from the beach. Dogs are welcome on lead, and the landscaped gardens offer gentle wandering routes with room to decompress. It's shared space with play areas and leisure facilities nearby, so good dog ownership matters.

The gardens are open daily and free to enter, making it easy to build a whole afternoon plan, whether that's a picnic on the grass, a calm walk through the planted areas, or just letting everyone reset away from the salty wind. The Garden Café at Trenance Heritage Cottages welcomes dogs inside and serves cream teas and refreshments daily from 10am to 5pm. Free roadside parking is available beside the lake for up to two hours, with a pay-and-display car park across from the zoo entrance.

It's ideal for a quieter day out with dogs who enjoy green space and polite greetings. Keep your dog under control, give other visitors room, and stick to paths where needed around wildlife areas. Always pick up after your dog, share the paths kindly, and leave the place tidy so everyone can enjoy it.
