Family-run touring park set in open Anglesey countryside
Just off the A55; Caernarfon and Beaumaris 20 minutes’ drive
Dog-friendly site with views of Snowdonia National Park

Stuck deciding between the mountains, the coast and the countryside? All three are easily accessed from Ael y Garnedd, a family-run touring park in Star, Anglesey. How so? Well, this site has a splendid selection of well-maintained, level pitches in pleasant grounds just off the A55, easily accessible from the Britannia Bridge and close to the Anglesey coastline. The pitches have the added bonus of spectacular views over the mountains of Snowdonia National Park (which is from 20 minutes’ drive away, by the way). Whether it's mountaineering in Snowdonia, rib rides and exploring the castle in Beaumaris (20 minutes), or lunch in Caernarfon (20 minutes), the site's central location is bound to come very much in handy. That’s what makes this place such a great base for family and dog-friendly holidays spent both on the island and mainland. Sandy beaches are close by too, and you'll be less than 30 minutes from the offerings at Benllech, Aberffraw, Rhosneigr and Ynys Llanddwyn, a haven for ramblers, rockpoolers and cyclists. With amenities like grey-waste disposal, toilets and showers all provided, as well as a laundry room, life on site is comfortable, and if you do need to venture out it won't take you long to find what you're looking for. The nearest pub is five minutes' drive, while Menai Bridge (10 minutes) has a large supermarket and an array of shops and restaurants.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautifully maintained site with good facilities. The pitch locations are spacious and well-placed, offering great privacy and views. The children’s play area is a fantastic bonus.

Disliked: it would have been helpful if laundry powder was available for purchase, and the placement of the toilet waste area beside the outdoor sink was off-putting—it made us hesitant to use the dishwashing facilities.

Terrible location, the noise from the A55 unbearable, so bad we left.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: The children's climbing frame onsite was good, my little boy enjoyed that. The view of the mountains was nice.

Disliked: The noise from the A55 was terrible, so bad that we left at the crack of dawn, couldn't sleep and even though we'd payed for another night I'd rather loose the money than stay there and have another night with no sleep. The layout of the grass pitches wasn't ideal either, everyone was crammed together at the top as that's where the electrical points are. Figured it's because the noise from the dual carriageway is so bad that the bottom of the field wasn't usable.

Local attractions

When you want to stay pretty local, make Menai Suspension Bridge (five minutes' drive) your first stop. The huge suspension bridge between Anglesey and mainland Wales is a sight to behold. Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens (10 minutes) is rather interesting too, as a historic estate with peaceful gardens and tea rooms. Beaumaris (20 minutes) next? This stop is by the seaside, hence the gorgeous promenade, and the castle is also worth a visit. Caernarfon Castle (20 minutes) has a big ‘wow’ factor too – the huge palace-style fortress sits along the river Seiont and looks very grand. In Conwy (30 minutes), there’s another castle, as well as the harbour where boat tours take off across the coast. For those of you interested in getting to know legends and history around St David, visit the island of Ynys Llanddwyn (30 minutes). The scenery is just as great at Great Orme (45 minutes), a chunk of limestone land that juts out into the sea and has been named the ‘sea monster’ by the Vikings. Time for some adrenaline instead? Zip World Fforest (40 minutes) has a forest rollercoaster and zipwires or swings over the treetops.
