  • Family- and dog-friendly site on a farm off the B4545 on Holy Island
  • South Stack Lighthouse 20 minutes’ drive; Beaumaris Castle 35 minutes
  • Within walking distance of the Anglesey Coastal Path; play area
Hafod Y Plas (which translates as ‘the centre of the mansion’) is a dog-friendly site that really does put you at the centre – not of a mansion, but of Holy Island, in western Wales. Getting here is dead easy: from Anglesey, just cross the Four Mile Bridge over the Cymyran Strait, and the site, which is part of a working farm, is just off the B4545, on the outskirts of the village of Rhoscolyn. But what does being at the centre of Holy Island mean, in practical terms? Well, first of all, you’re pretty close to the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path (you can join it at the Four Mile Bridge), a long-distance hiking trail that you can follow south, to the sheltered sandy beach at Traeth Llydan (about one hour’s walk). Alternatively, you can head to Trearddur Bay (five minutes’ drive) and walk along the rugged western shore of the island, going past beaches like Porth Diana Beach and Porth Castell (both popular for watersports) and the natural arch at Bwa Gwyn. In addition to pitches on a well-maintained, level field, the site has a play area with slides and climbing structures, though children might be more interested in making friends with the resident animals – and in getting a hands-on taste of farm life, by helping to collect freshly laid eggs or milk the gentle cows. There is also a toilet/shower block, a washing-up area and a freezer for your supplies, which you can source from Trearddur Bay or Holyhead (10 minutes).

Non-electric grass and sand tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We loved the play area for our little ones. The milkshake vending machine was a big hit as well. Loved being surrounded by the farm animals. The toilets and showers were basic but all we needed. We also likes that there was a kettle, microwave, fridge, and sink! Location was spot on as well. The openers were lovely as well which is always a bonus. Everything was perfect for our first camping trip.

Disliked: There was a family with a noisy dog but nothing to do with the site itself!

Local attractions

Built in 1809, the South Stack Lighthouse (20 minutes’ drive) perches on a rocky headland stretching into the Irish Sea and is accessed via 400 steps carved into the cliff. After that, if your legs are up for the climb to the top of the tower, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the coast and birdlife, including puffins. Sitting on the Menai Strait, the National Trust-run Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes) has views all the way to the mountains of Snowdonia. One of its highlights is an enormous mural by the 20th-century artist Rex Whistler portraying a fictional view from the property. Meanwhile, the gardens include terraced areas, woodland walks and a collection of rhododendrons. Moated Beaumaris Castle (35 minutes) dates back to the time of Edward I (early 1300s). Although it was never completed due to funds running out, you can still check out its imposing walls, battlements and towers, and take in splendid views of the Menai Strait.
