- Family-friendly site with level grass pitches in the west of Anglesey
- Holyhead 10 minutes’ drive; RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd 20 minutes
- Dogs welcome; playground; pumpkin-carving sessions; free-range eggs
Whether real, painted or knitted, pumpkins are a key theme at Bodlas, a peaceful site on the outskirts of Bodedern village (15 minutes on foot), on Anglesey. Indeed, come to this small family farm in the autumn, and you’ll be able to take part in pumpkin-picking and -carving sessions – the resulting jack-o’-lanterns might just be the spookiest on your street, come Halloween…
Pitches are on a well-maintained and level grass field, and there’s plenty of room for children to kick a ball around, fly kites or chase each other (and the family dog) around. There’s also a play area, plus picnic benches for alfresco meals, which you can order from the on-site catering pod. If you fancy cooking your own meals (perhaps using the eggs sold on site, which are generously produced by happy, free-roaming hens), a firepit is available on request. Alternatively, head into Bodedern, where a pub serves traditional fare, or take a five-minute drive to Valley village, which has a restaurant and a handful of takeaway places.
The Anglesey Coastal Path takes you all around the island, past beaches like Traeth Cymyran and Traeth Crigyll (an hour and a half on foot). Alternatively, take the North Wales Expressway to reach Parc Arfordirol Penrhos Coastal Park (10 minutes’ drive), with woodland trails and splendid views across the Cymyran Strait; or head to RSPB Cymru Ynys Lawd (20 minutes), at the westernmost tip of Holy Island, where you might catch glimpses of puffins nesting among the rocky cliffs, as well as admire spectacular sunsets over the water.

Local attractions
At Holyhead (10 minutes’ drive) you can walk to the very tip of the breakwater, all the way to the lighthouse, and watch the ferries as they sail to and from Ireland. The Holyhead Maritime Museum, in Wales’s oldest lifeboat station, has colourful displays about maritime life, local shipwrecks and daring rescue stories.
In addition to an 18th-century windmill, Melin Llynon (15 minutes) has a model safari with life-sized wild animals, a Willy Wonka-inspired escape room and a café serving epic treats, such as the decadently rich mônuts (donuts).
Cross Anglesey all the way to the east coast and visit National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (25 minutes). This elegant mansion is the home of one of Britain’s largest murals, created by the artist Rex Whistler in the 1930s. After checking out the interiors, head out into the parkland, which overlooks the Menai Strait, and locate the colourful rhododendron garden.
