No to Pet Dogs at the Eden Project

Having been at the Eden Project this week for meetings I thought it would be helpful to report on how dog friendly it is as its one of the top tourist spots for Cornwall.  It is a lovely place to visit, and boasts spectacular views.

Eden has a no dog policy other than guide dogs (with a badge, and ideally a harness and jacket). It encourages visitors to put their dogs in local kennels for day care (they will provide you with a list if you contact them direct).

Being Eden they do try to help and have come up with a Dog Shade Parking area which is a great idea, giving a small amount of cars some shade for their dogs.  There is also water available. However you are still encouraged to check on your dog regularly and to leave your windows open.  


I personally think its a great idea and feel touched that Eden has been that considerate to dog owners, however I would not feel comfortable to leave my dog for any length of time.  There is so much to see at Eden I would recommend to leave your best friend either at home or in a day care kennels if you are on holiday.


Thanks Eden for being considerate to us dog owners, but for me I would not recommend taking pet dogs to Eden.
