Explore Cheddar Gorge & Caves
With awe-inspiring cliffs and fascinating stalactic show caves, Cheddar Gorge & Caves is a dog-friendly area packed with prehistoric secrets to discover.
Tackle the 3-mile cliff top walk while taking in the finest views Somerset has to offer. The route is teaming with flowers and wildlife, including dormice, great crested newts and horseshoe bats.
You might even discover the UK’s biggest flock of Soay sheep plus the goats that roam and graze freely on the vegetation.
Why not head downhill to explore the mysterious chambers of a cave that is over 500,000 years old? Discover where our ancestors lived while viewing the beautiful rock formations that have formed over thousands of years. And of course, don’t forget to pick up some world famous cheddar cheese!
Discover the beauty of Wells Cathedral
Erected between the 12th and 15th century, Wells Cathedral is the earliest Gothic Cathedral to be built in England.
It is bursting with history and character, boasting some of the most stunning architecture on display on the country.
And pets are more than welcome to join you as you explore the fascinating octagonal Chapter House, the Jesse window and Vicars’ Close — one of the most complete medieval Closes in the UK.
A trip to the Cathedral offers an insightful look into the past, so it’s well worth taking the entire day to soak it all in.
Take a trip to Somerset’s beaches
Covering much of the length of the Bristol Channel, the Somerset coastline features soaring cliffs, golden sand beaches, wet lands and the second highest tidal range in the world!
There are numerous all-year dog friendly beaches to explore in Somerset near to Home Farm Cottages. Weston super mare remains a firm favourite, comprising a classic Victorian beachside resort with a focus on family seaside fun. With a vast stretch of golden sand, take a stroll whatever the weather. Dogs are allowed on the section of beach between The Grand Pier and Royal Sands from the beginning of October until the end of April.
Alternatively, you might like to explore Sand Bay all year round ( it is also known as Weston-super-Mare’s hidden gem), a wild beach that offers unspoilt views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
Or if you are looking for a quiet spot away from it all, take the dogs and head to Uphill Beach. You can park right on the beach, and the sandy stretch goes on for miles, offering you and your dog the perfect opportunity to stretch your legs.
