DOG FRIENDLY

At Tanfield Railway, we understand that your four-legged friends are part of the family, and we are delighted to welcome well-behaved dogs to join you on your journey through history. Our railway offers a unique experience for both humans and canines, making it the perfect destination for a day out with your furry companions… and best of all, dogs travel free of charge.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Dogs are welcome to travel with you on our heritage trains free of charge, allowing them to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a traditional steam railway. We kindly ask that dogs remain on a lead at all times while on the platform and onboard the train, and avoid sitting on the seats.
  • Our beautiful stations and the surrounding areas provide ample space for you and your dog to stretch your legs before or after your ride. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through picturesque landscapes, taking in the rich history and natural beauty of the region.
  • We have provided water bowls at various points around our stations to ensure your pet stays hydrated. Our friendly staff are always on hand to assist and ensure a pleasant visit for you and your dog.

DOG-FRIENDLY EVENTS

Throughout the year, Tanfield Railway hosts several dog-friendly events. Keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming activities that you and your canine friend can enjoy together.
