Looking to book a dog-friendly winter break? Wales has so many places to visit that you and your dog will be spoilt for choice.
The 14 regions of Wales have a varied and diverse landscape that will ensure you enjoy the perfect winter getaway.
Wales is home to three popular and breathtaking national parks — Snowdonia National Park in North Wales, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in West Wales, and the Brecon Beacons National Park in Mid Wales.
They’re ideal for exploring with your dog and offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. At Snowdonia there are 100 lakes, 90 mountain peaks, and 37 miles of beaches and coastline, plus the highest mountain in England and Wales.
Dogs will love the pretty lakes, waterfalls, valleys, and green open spaces of the rolling Welsh countryside during a visit to the Brecon Beacons National Park; it contains some of the most spectacular and diverse landscape in Europe.
Your winter break won't be complete without a visit to the coast and Wales’ Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is unique as Britain’s only national park which is predominantly coastal. The region of Pembrokeshire has spectacular stretches of coastline and picturesque villages, and dogs will enjoy the freedom and openness that this area brings.
Your Dog Members will be able to take advantage of the perks and discounts available on various accommodations. Take a look at these dog-friendly places to stay...
