Dog-Friendly Walks and Green Spaces in St Ives

Off-leash zone: Dogs can be off-lead under close control on the open headland; keep them away from the cliff edges and clean up after them.

💡 It gives 360-degree sea views a few minutes from the harbour and is one of the best free dog walks in town during the summer beach ban.

Off-leash zone: Keep dogs on a lead near the cliff edges and around the sheep and cattle grazed along the path; the drops are sheer and the ground uneven.

💡 It is rugged and strenuous with steep ups and downs, so carry water and take the coastal bus back from Zennor rather than walking both ways.

Off-leash zone: Dogs can be off-lead under close control on the open hill, but livestock may graze here, so lead up whenever animals are present.

💡 There is a small free National Trust car park at the foot; the scramble to the summit rocks is short but steep, so it suits an agile dog.
