Llwyn Bugeilydd Caravan and Camping Site

Start your Welsh wanderings in Criccieth – there are often family-friendly events at the 15th-century castle, and there’s a small stretch of beach for paddling. A few minutes out of town, the Lloyd George Museum and Dwyfor Ranch Rabbit Farm and Animal Park are worth a trip. For more beaches, continue west to the Llyn Peninsula; Porthdinllaen, Abersoch and Pwllheli all have excellent sandy stretches, and there are heaps of coastal antics to get stuck into at activity centres over here. If you like a hike, you can hit the Wales Coast Path with a stroll of 20 minutes or so, or head to Snowdonia National Park for mountain scrambles or gentler rambles around the lakes and waterfalls. And if that’s all a bit much, there are scenic train rides to be had on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway. For a spot of history and culture, half an hour’s drive will take you to pretty Portmeirion, Caernarfon Castle, Harlech Castle or Porthmadog’s Maritime Museum.
