Dog-Friendly Walks and Green Spaces in Newquay

The grassy headland across the Gannel from Fistral, laced with the South West Coast Path and giving huge Atlantic views over Crantock and the bay. It is open to dogs year-round and makes a short, dramatic walk straight from the edge of town, with clifftop paths and surfers far below.

A beautiful tidal estuary separating Newquay from Crantock, with sandy banks, footpaths and low-tide crossings that dogs love. It is open to dogs year-round and gives a calm, sheltered alternative to the open coast, with birdlife on the mudflats and a real sense of wildness minutes from town.

Newquay's green heart, a valley of ornamental gardens, lawns and a boating lake below the viaduct, a short walk from the town centre. It is a gentle, level place to walk a dog on a lead away from the cliffs, useful for older dogs or a break from the wind on the exposed coast.
