Following the news that the National Trust will be aiming to open many of their gardens and parks for free during this difficult time, so everyone can use open spaces to relax while following the social distancing guidance.

A study by Petlandia has revealed which National Trust properties are the best to visit with your dog in Northern Ireland.

The study took a list of dog-friendly National Trust Properties across Northern Ireland and scored them based on a series of doggy-criteria points, i.e. off-lead options, dog waste bins, and whether drinking water was provided.
