Dog-friendly things to do in Norfolk

  • Share on Facebook

This county in historic East Anglia offers up a mix of traditional seaside resorts, stretches of picturesque rivers, and is home to some of the rarest wildlife in the UK. There's so much to do while you’re staying at one of our Great Yarmouth holiday parks.

You’ll be pleased to know that plenty of parks and attractions accept dogs - including a few that put dogs before their humans! Curious to get out and explore? Here are our recommendations for top dog-friendly things to do in Norfolk.

Merrivale Model Village

Merrivale Model Village

Pups are welcome at this outdoor visitor attraction in Great Yarmouth, and there's plenty for four-legged friends and their humans to explore. As well as marvellous miniature town scenes, you'll find a crazy golf course, a sensory garden, a koi carp pond, penny arcade, gift shop and cafe.

The Venetian Waterways

While you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd got lost and ended up in Italy, these stunning waterways are set right in Norfolk, not far from the delights of Great Yarmouth and its seafront. There are about seven acres to explore by land or by water, with plenty of wildlife to spot. Explore canals, bridges and decorative features at this 100-year-old attraction, and stop off for a coffee and a sweet treat at the Island Cafe.

The Crown Inn, Pulham Market

The Crown Inn, Pulham Market

At this picturesque 15th-century inn, your pooch is more than welcome to join the fun. With offerings like 'Bottom Sniffer' beer, crunchy pig ears, and even a doggy roast, they're in for a proper treat! While they dig in, you can indulge in seasonal British fare with a posh twist. The Crown Inn’s menu features modern takes on pub grub, like ribeye steak with thyme-infused shallots, or Thai soft shell crab. 

Once you've had your fill, there's a load of lovely spots to stretch your legs. Take a wander through Tyrrels Wood to walk off your hearty meal.

Carlton Marshes, Lowestoft, Suffolk

This little slice of paradise on the southernmost tip of the Broads National Park offers grazing marshes, fens, peat pools, and lush meadows. It’s right on the Norfolk-Suffolk border and has everything a nature-lover could want for a stroll in the great outdoors! Pop inside the visitor centre or peek out at the visit birds from the bird hide. Hungry? Grab a bite at the on-site restaurant. 

You’ll be pleased to know that there’s wheelchair-friendly pathways that link up to more green spaces nearby, making it a doddle to explore. And of course, bring your dog for walkies but keep them on a lead at all times while you’re visiting.

Sheringham Park

This stunning chunk of the Norfolk landscape, looked after by the National Trust, is a blend of woodland, parkland, and blooming gardens with belting views of the North Norfolk coast. Dogs are welcome to join for walkies on leads. 

Stroll the trails around the lake or take a load off and soak in the scenery on one of the many benches dotted around the park. Like many National Trust venues, there’s an on-site cafe, a book shop and convenient toilets.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2032 Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.

‘Make no site fee payments until 2032 when using Let2offset’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.

“Make no site fee payments for until 2032 when using Let2offset” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Victory Ashberry 3 Bed or equivalent grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion. An example of how “Make no site fee payments until 2032 when using Let2offset” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of a Victory Ashberry 3 Bed holiday home at Seton Sands with a monthly site fee of £667.08 (includes purchasing discount of £17.08) and monthly letting income of £673.17. The monthly difference equates to £23.17, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and the monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2025 figures. Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Victory Ashberry 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading as of 2024. Images are shown for representational purposes.
