Upton Castle Gardens

Upton Castle Gardens is a beautiful historic garden and arboretum set in the Pembrokeshire countryside, about a dozen miles from Tenby by road. The gardens offer woodland walks, mature planting and outdoor sculpture, making it a perfect half-day destination for dog owners who want a proper garden visit without leaving their dog behind. Dogs on leads are welcome throughout the gardens and outdoor grounds, so you can wander the paths and enjoy the planting together.

There's free parking on site and tickets are available on arrival with no need to pre-book. The café adds to the visitor offering, though there's no confirmation of indoor dog access.

Seasonal opening applies, so it's worth checking current visit details before you set off. With its mix of heritage, horticulture and space to roam on lead, Upton Castle Gardens suits Pembrokeshire dog owners looking for a calm outdoor day out that feels a little more curated than a standard woodland walk.
