Dog Notes:

Dogs on leads are very welcome throughout Berry Head Country Park in Devon. It's a popular spot for dog walking with fantastic views. Keeping dogs on leads is essential due to the sheer, unfenced cliff edges, the presence of grazing livestock (often goats or ponies for conservation), and to protect the sensitive wildlife (especially ground-nesting birds and the seabird colonies). Dog waste bins are provided. The Guardhouse Cafe at Berry Head is often dog-friendly. This Devon park requires responsible on-lead dog walking.
