- Wild camping on an old estate on the south-western coast of Anglesey
- Rhosneigr village five minutes’ drive; Holyhead 20 minutes
- Direct access to sandy beaches; dogs welcome; spectacular sunsets
The Bodorgan Estate, on the south-western coast of Anglesey, has been passed down from generation to generation since the 1300s. If you fancy a slice (or at least a nibble…) of its century-long history, consider staying here during your next visit to the island. On the estate, Cnwc Campsite is just the spot for those who are after a slightly wild camping experience – with the occasional amenity thrown in. (More on that in a minute.)
Grass pitches sit on an 11-acre field, and while there’s no electricity hook-up, what you get are splendid views of the coastline, spectacular sunsets and direct access to a couple of sandy beaches for your early morning wild swims. Porth Trecastell is about 10 minutes’ walk away, though if you are lugging a canoe or a windsurfing board, you might prefer to drive (there is a small car park). Porth Nobla is a little bit farther (about half a mile away) and is another cool spot for kayaking and surfing. Good news: dogs are allowed at both beaches. There are also epic walks to be had on the Anglesey Coastal Path and a golf course at Rhosneigr (five minutes’ drive), which is the nearest village for your shopping and dining out needs.
And what are the amenities that elevate Cnwc above other wild camping sites? Well, in addition to composting toilets, there are showers, a washing-up area and a barbecue station; plus, in the site’s ‘leave no trace’ spirit, there are recycling points.

Local attractions
At the westernmost tip of Anglesey is Holyhead (20 minutes’ drive), where a maritime museum explores the area’s seafaring heritage. Exhibits include artefacts from a submarine that sank in 1939 and other local shipwrecks, plus lifeboat models. At Holyhead Marina, it’s possible to arrange a fishing charter.
Dozens of vintage cars and motorbikes (plus tractors) are on display at Anglesey Transport Museum (20 minutes), which happens to be another dog-friendly site (just keep your canine buddy on a short lead). And if the kids get restless while you marvel at all the retro engines, you can direct them to the large outdoor playground.
There are more than 40 tanks with seahorses, jellyfish, urchins and other British marine life at Anglesey Sea Zoo and Marine Resource Centre (25 minutes), while Pili Palas Nature World (25 minutes) is the place to see butterflies, lizards and meerkats, plus farmyard animals.
