  • Dog-friendly touring pitches at a working farm in central Anglesey
  • Rhosneigr beach 10 minutes' drive; Beaumaris and Benllech 25 minutes
  • Horses, chickens and sheep on site; pub and shop five minutes' walk
Come for the farmyard fun – stay for the walks, beach days, watersports, family attractions… Maes Carafanau Penbryn Caravan Site is part of a working farm in the village of Gwalchmai, and it’s a fabulous spot indeed for families, couples and solo visitors alike. As you may expect from a farm, there’s lovely green scenery all around here, with paths leading directly from the site to some scenic walking and bike trails. And of course there are farm animals too – this place is home to chickens, sheep, horses and ponies. Facilities here include a play area for the kids and a dog field where visiting canines can have a good run about. There’s also a well-equipped modern bathroom block with toilets, showers, an accessible/family bathroom and a washing-up area. An Elsan point and grey waste point are also provided, and there are picnic tables for your meals (perhaps cooked on a barbecue, which you’re welcome to bring along). The village centre is five minutes’ walk away for a shop, pub and bus stop. This is a rural location, but it’s also a strategic one for getting out to explore all that Anglesey has to offer. It’s fairly central within the island, and nearby access to the A5 and A55 means that it’s easy to get to whichever attractions and activities you’d like to fill your days with – even Beaumaris, at the far eastern end of the island, is only 25 minutes’ drive away.

Debbie S.

Electric optional grass pitch

Liked Warm welcome upon arrival. Well laid out pitches with own water supply. Very new and clean amenities, great shower cubicles. I was allocated a grass pitch in front of the dedicated dog exercise area which was really thoughtful, consideration had been given for my dog. Although I travelled solo I could see this was a lovely sight for families with a small play area and a chicken coop.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the constructive comments regarding the hanging of clothes. We are now in the process of fitting more hooks and will be installing shelves over the winter period.
We are disappointed to see that you though our customer service was a 1/10. Cleanliness and customer service are our 2 priorities at Penbryn. We were also rather surprised as the only time you approached a member of staff was to ask for a refund due to the poor weather.

Everything! Really friendly welcome on arrival,…

Local attractions

Anglesey is an island, of course, so the coast is always a big draw. You may like to seek out natural attractions like South Stack island (25 minutes’ drive), head to beaches like Rhosneigr (10 minutes) and Benllech (25 minutes) or take a boat ride from Beaumaris (25 minutes) to Puffin Island. For walkers, there’s always the option of a jaunt along the Anglesey Coastal Path (or part of it anyway – the whole thing is about 135 miles long). The colourful surroundings of former copper mine Parys Mountain (half an hour) are also lovely to walk through, or you could head to Newborough (20 minutes) to walk through the pine forest to the beach and out to Ynys Llanddwyn. Beaumaris Castle (25 minutes) and Plas Newydd House and Gardens (20 minutes) are top picks for historic buildings to visit; for family days out, try Pili Palas Nature World (15 minutes), Anglesey Sea Zoo (25 minutes) or GreenWood Family Park (25 minutes).
