- Dog Notes:
Rufford Abbey Country Park in Nottinghamshire is very popular for dog walking, and dogs are welcome in most areas of the parkland and woodland. However, they should be kept on leads in designated areas, such as near the formal gardens, around Rufford Lake (to protect waterfowl and for safety near the water's edge), in the children's play areas, and around the cafes/shops. There are extensive areas for on-lead walks. Dog waste bins are widely available throughout this Nottinghamshire park. Please clean up after your dog. The main cafe often has dog-friendly outdoor seating.
