Dog Notes:

Dogs on leads are very welcome throughout most of the Ickworth parkland and woodland areas in Suffolk. However, they are not usually permitted in the formal gardens immediately around the House, inside Ickworth House itself, or in the cafes/shops (assistance dogs excepted). There are many miles of excellent on-lead walks through the wider parkland where dogs can enjoy the open space. Dogs should be kept on leads due to grazing livestock (sheep are common) in the parkland and to protect wildlife. Dog waste bins are provided at key points. This Suffolk estate is a great place for scenic dog walks.
