- Well-located simple site just outside Capelulo in Eryri National Park
- Penmaenmawr beach five minutes' drive; 10 minutes to Conwy Castle
- Easy access from A55; dogs welcome; pub three minutes' walk
This is a nifty location for a North Wales outdoor break – Y Glyn Fields is right at the top end of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and only a couple of miles from the coast, putting you within easy reach of both countryside outings and seaside days. There’s easy access from the A55 North Wales Expressway and the coastal cycle path… and, perhaps most importantly, the local pub is only three minutes’ walk away…
This laidback little site is just outside the village of Capelulo (which has a village shop and bus stop as well as the aforementioned pub) and five minutes’ drive from Penmaenmawr, a slightly larger town that has a convenience store, a pub, a café and a cluster of takeaways.
It’s a fairly simple setup here, with families, groups and dogs all welcome. Facilities stretch to just portable toilets, but you're welcome to bring along a barbecue and you can add a gazebo or pup tent to your booking for a bit of extra living space if you like.
It should be pretty easy to fill your days around here – there are heaps of outdoor activities around the national park and along the coast, and it’s easy to get to heritage sites like Conwy Castle or Llandudno’s Victorian pier. For a change of scenery it’s also only about a 20-minute drive to the Menai Bridge for a day over on Anglesey.
