National Trust - Seaton Delaval Hall

A place of great theatricality, drama and mischief.

With plenty of ground to cover and lots of woodland to wander, Seaton Delaval Hall is the perfect place to walk your dog. Find out about dog walking at the Hall, including where you can go and what facilities are available.

Our pawprint rating system
We’ve been working on making it easier for you to find out how dog-friendly your visit will be before you and your four-legged friend arrive. To help with this, we've created a new pawprint rating system and given all the places in our care a rating. You can find this information in the National Trust members’ handbook.

Seaton Delaval Hall is a two pawprint rated place.

These places have water bowls, dog bins and dog-friendly walks. You’ll be able to take your dog into some areas, but not everywhere. If there’s a food and beverage outlet, you can have a cup of tea with them, probably outside. Read on to discover exactly where you can take your dog.

Where can my dog go?
Dogs are welcome in all outdoor areas of the property, except for the Delaval Playdium in the North West Woods. There is a dedicated dog-friendly seating area in the Brewhouse cafe.

You must keep your dog on a lead at all times. This is to keep the neighbouring farm animals safe and to make sure that all our visitors have an enjoyable day.

Assistance dogs are permitted everywhere at the property, both inside and out.

Where can’t my dog go?
Dogs aren’t allowed inside any of the buildings or in the Delaval Playdium play area of the North West Woods.

What do I need to be aware of at Seaton Delaval Hall?
Please take care around the edges of the grounds along the ha-ha walls as there are steep drops.
