Dog-Friendly Hebburn: Walks, Parks and Supplies

Hebburn is a good town for dog owners. It has plenty of open green space and riverside to walk, an independent pet shop for the essentials, and a scattering of pubs with beer gardens for warmer days. Here is a guide to dog-friendly Hebburn, from where to walk to where to stock up.

Where to walk

The town's two main parks are the natural place to start. Carr-Ellison Park on Park Road, the former gardens of Hebburn Hall, is a characterful park with mature trees and the historic Hall Ponds, and it is well used by dog walkers. Down by the Tyne, Hebburn Riverside Park on Prince Consort Road offers flat, open riverside paths with room to roam. For a longer outing, the traffic-free Keelman's Way follows the south bank of the river through the town, so you can walk as far as you like. Our guide to the best walks in Hebburn has more detail on all three.
