Dogs welcome at 12-acre Leicestershire walled garden this summer

Dog walkers will be able take pets to 12 acres of gardens in Grantham, Lincolnshire, during special “dog days” this summer.

Dogs aren’t usually allowed in the 12-acres of gardens, which are more than 400 years old, but from 2pm-5pm on Sundays throughout August pets will be able to visit the haven of wildlife and flowers.

Easton Walled Gardens asked walkers to bring only “socialised dogs who are not in season”.

Normal admission prices into the gardens will apply, adults can enter for £10, while dogs can go free.

In addition, free parking is available.
