Starts at: The visitor entrance and car park. The map pin is approximate.
Seven waymarked garden and woodland trails on the Belvoir estate, from the Spiral Walk to Frog Hollow, with dogs on leads welcome everywhere but the adventure playground. A year-round parkland pass covers walkers and dog walkers.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome throughout the garden and park except the adventure playground; not in the house or tearoom, but at the outdoor tables of the visitor hub, bistro and bar. The seven trails — Spiral Walk, Rose Garden Walk, Japanese Woodland Walk, Duchess Garden Walk, Hermit’s Garden Walk, the Duke’s Walk and Frog Hollow — run through formal gardens and woodland; lengths are not published, so allow an hour or two.
Conditions can change. Keep dogs under appropriate control, close gates, and follow local signage. This is a guide to where to go, not a navigation app.
