Porth

The National Trust calendar lists the countryside as open dawn to dusk every day to the end of 2026.

The cafe is tenant run (not National Trust); the toilets, including an accessible toilet in the main block near the cafe, open when the cafe is open.

All-weather path around Froe creek and the woods from the lower car park, gravelled on the lower section where robust pushchairs and wheelchairs may manage, then a steep zig-zag through the woods. Beach access is down an uneven concrete ramp; the levels change as sand moves after big storms or tides, sometimes leaving a big drop and uncovering boulders.

Dogs are welcome all year round on a short lead; livestock may be in the fields, so keep to the footpaths. The car park has limited shade, so do not leave dogs in vehicles. Reviewers note there are no dog waste bins.

Dogs at the location: Allowed with restrictions. Dogs are welcome at Porth all year round on a short lead; keep to the footpaths where livestock may be in the fields.

Dog walks in the grounds: Allowed with restrictions. Woodlands, coast path and beaches are open to dogs on a short lead; livestock may be in the fields nearby, so stick to the footpaths. Free access, no ticket needed.

Leads: Short lead across the site to limit wildlife disturbance; close control at all times and on a lead near livestock; let dogs off the lead only if cattle approach, then recall.

Seasonal dog restrictions: None stated; the Trust says to watch local signs for any beach dog bans.
