Abbey ruins on the Furness peninsula where dogs on leads are welcome. Picnic benches and open grassy areas make this an alternative historic stop on a South Lakes trip.

Practical details

✓ Dogs on leads✓ Abbey ruins✓ Picnic spots

Visitor viewPushchairs are allowed, but uneven ground may suit all-terrain models better. Grass can soften after rain and some slopes are steep, so this is not a universally buggy-friendly site. The nearby independent café has its own rules; its dog policy is not confirmed here.

Before bookingCheck opening dates, admission and ground conditions before travelling. Ask which areas suit your loaded dog buggy and where pet dogs may go inside the visitor centre.

Policies, opening times and services can change. Confirm anything essential directly before making a special journey or booking.
