Welcome ...to Dog Friendly Carmarthenshire for every dog owner and their pet! Carmarthenshire certainly is a dog friendly county. You don’t have to look far to discover why. It has vast expanses of beaches and greener than green countryside for you and your best friend to explore, plus a suburb array of country parks and castles. There is an idyllic coastline, beautiful estuaries, mountainous National Parkland and a suburb range of dog friendly accommodation. Carmarthenshire is a dream holiday or short break destination. The towns, villages and resorts here retain a character that is becoming difficult to find elsewhere. Carmarthenshire is conveniently located too. Take a look at the map. It is surprisingly easy to explore most of South West Wales from Carmarthenshire. To the west there’s Pembrokeshire and its coastal National Park. From the Northern part of the county you’re only a short hop away from the lush woodlands of the Teifi Valley or the harbours along Cardigan Bay. On Carmarthenshire’s eastern boundaries you will find the Black Mountain part of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the ultimate
great escape and just a stone’s throw away from places like Llandeilo and Llandovery. Also on Carmarthenshire’s doorstep is the Gower Peninsula, the first part of Britain to be declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. You’ll find lots of essential information here, whether you’re on ‘Staycation’ having a day out, or spending some time away from home with your dog, we list some of the finest dog friendly places in the county. Those all important dog friendly beaches and country walks, as well as a few places you never perhaps thought you’d be able to take your dog, are featured here. You will be spoilt for choice as there’s lots to see and do with your best friend!

Beaches & Coast Walks Dog bylaws on Carmarthenshire beaches. All beaches in Carmarthenshire are designated under the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996 under which it is an offence - punishable by a fine of up to ÂŁ1,000 - not to clean up after your dog. Dog restrictions during the bathing season (1st May to 30th September annually) Prohibitions, alongside areas where dogs are allowed, apply to the following beaches between the 1st May and 30th September inclusive. No prohibitions apply to guide dogs for the blind.
Pendine Beach Seven miles of glorious sands overlooking the Gower Peninsula. The Dog restrictions at Pendine Beach apply to the section between the two slipways, which still gives dogs an ample playground. NB: Part of the seven miles of glorious sands is used by the MOD for firing, Monday - Friday 08:00-16:15, and conveyed by the use of red flags which are on display while firing is in progress. Contact Range Control to find out firing times on 01994 452310 or pendine.qinetiq.com
Ginst Point Nestled in between Pendine, and Laugharne is the unexplored end of Pendine Sands. Ginst is a great spot for dogs on leads. Like its neighbour Ginst Point is used by MOD for firing, Monday – Friday 08.00-16.15, and conveyed by the use of red flags which are on display while firing is in progress. Contact Range Control to find out firing times on 01994 452310 or pendine.qinetiq.com

All year round dog friendly beaches Laugharne A sleepy and timeless sea town on the Taf estuary, made famous by poet Dylan Thomas where he once lived and, inspired by his surroundings, wrote many of his great works, including ‘Under Milk Wood’. Overlooking the estuary are the dramatic ruins of a Norman Castle. The craggy Cliffside walk that leads to Dylan Thomas’ boathouse is great for dogs on a lead (no more than 3 dogs per person) For those looking for a longer circular route, this walk with its dog friendly stiles and gates continues along the riverside past the boathouse and inland, bringing you back to Laugharne.
Ferryside The pretty coastal village of Ferryside looks across to Llansteffan and its commanding Norman Castle. No restrictions on dogs on this picturesque riverside beach so you can exercise your dog to its heart’s content while you lap up the scenery.
St. Ishmael The same as its neighbouring beach at Ferryside, St. Ishmael is a year round dog friendly beach.

Dogs should be kept under close control or on a lead.

Pembrey Country Park One of Wales’ most popular visitor attractions, and adjoining the eight mile Cefn Sidan Beach, Pembrey Country Park is as much about coast as it is country. The park boasts a range of family attractions including an adventure playground, train rides, fry ski slope, toboggan run, pitch and putt and crazy golf. For the dog, acres of stunning forestry and wide open parkland make an ideal poochy playground. Pembrey Country Park welcomes dogs which are kept under control. There are a number of litter bins and together with the beach, the park truly is a limitless playground for dog owners. The park is also the venue for the annual “Dogs Day Out” event which takes place every September. NB: The Blue Flag section of the beach at the entrance is closed to dogs between May 1st – September 30th.
Dinefwr Park & Castle Fabulous walks to stretch those dog and human legs over some fantastic landscapes – a gentle trot around the White Park Cattle walk seeing the cattle and calves or a more challenging uphill climb to Dinefwr Castle where you and your dog can view the Towy valley. Stop off for a snack at the outlet in the car park. For the enjoyment of all visitors, dogs are asked to be kept on a lead and dog waste picked up. Areas not accessible for dogs (except assistance dogs) are the ancient deer park, boardwalk and Newton House. There is a National Trust holiday cottage at Dinefwr. Penparc, which welcomes dogs, allows visitors to stay on the estate with easy access to all these great dog friendly walks. www.nationaltrust.org.uk

Paws for Thought We want you to make the most of being on holiday with your best friend. This means respecting the fact that not everyone is a dog lover and a certain etiquette applies. Here are some basic rules to bear in mind whilst out and about with your pet: • Always clean up after your dog. • Never leave your dog in a hot, or even warm, car. • Dogs should be kept on leads where stated. If off lead, your dog must be kept under close control. By law, you must control your dog so that it does not disturb or scare farm animals or wildlife. Farmers are entitled to destroy a dog that injures or worries their animals. As a general rule, keep your dog on a lead if you cannot rely on its obedience. • Leave all gates, whether opened or closed, as you found them. Walking and cattle Many footpaths cut across farmland which is being grazed by cattle.
Cattle are not prohibited from being kept in fields crossed by rights of way. Much of the time, a herd of cattle in a field will approach you out of curiosity. It would be prudent however, to exercise caution when entering a field of cattle, as serious cases of attacks by cattle have taken place, particularly upon walkers with dogs. The following advice is given: • When walking through a field of cattle, move calmly and quietly through the field. • Do not let yourself get between a cow and her calf. • If you have a dog with you, the most important thing is to let it go. The cattle are probably more interested in the dog than you and the dog can travel a lot faster and will get itself to safety. Your safety should be prime in your mind. Lost & Stray dogs - For lost and stray dogs, or to report an incidence of dog fouling, contact the Carmarthenshire County Council Contact Centre on 01267 234567

37 Brynamman y From walks along the beach to hikes across the hill-tops, there are hundreds of miles of paths and acres of open countryside in Carmarthenshire for you to enjoy with your dog. We all know how much your four legged friend enjoys a good walk. Whether you’re looking for an undemanding coastal or country walk or a more challenging hike on the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, Carmarthenshire has everything to offer the walker. Many of our walks have been made easier for dog owners by the installation of custom built stiles and gates, to take the hassle out of your day out in the countryside.
