Dog Walking

Adults Only, Dog friendly touring caravan & Motorhome park on Anglesey

We welcome dogs to Pen-y-Llyn Touring Caravan Park, although we do expect all owners to keep them on a short lead at all times and pick up after them and dispose of the waste appropriately. The local area is ideal for dog walking as the beach at Cymyran allows dogs all year round, the beaches of Trearddur Bay and Rhoscolyn allow dogs during off peak seasons.

We are a tranquil park for dog owners and non-dog owners alike. All of our guests expect and deserve a peaceful holiday. Dogs that cause excessive noise, display aggressive behaviour, and owners who neglect cleaning up after their pets may be reminded of their obligations to our other guests and to the park. It's important to note that we do not allow guests to leave their pets unattended on the pitch when they leave the park.

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

The Isle of Anglesey’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), has one of the most distinctive, attractive and varied landscapes in the British Isles.

The coastal zone of Anglesey was designated as an AONB in 1966 and was confirmed in 1967. It was designated in order to protect the aesthetic appeal and variety of the island’s coastal landscape and habitats from inappropriate development.

The AONB is predominantly a coastal designation, covering most of Anglesey’s 201 kilometre (125 miles) coastline but also encompasses Holyhead Mountain and Mynydd Bodafon. Substantial areas of other land protected by the AONB form the backdrop to the coast.

Llyn Cerig Bach

Llyn Cerig Bach

We are a stone throw from Llyn Cerrig Bach which is a small lake who's main claim to fame is the group of over 150 Iron Age metal objects discovered there in 1942, apparently placed in the lake as votive offerings. These finds are considered to be one of the most important collections of La Tène style metalwork discovered in the British Isles, and the most important in Wales.

The hoard comprises over a hundred and fifty objects of Gold, bronze and iron. They were found at the time of the Second World War during the construction of the RAF airfield at Valley, Anglesey. Workmen discovered these objects whilst digging peat from the site of a former lake edge. There is an interesting Blog about Llyn Cerig Bach and the wider area of Anglesey by the daughter of the man - W.O. Roberts who discovered the artefacts in 1942.
