Glan Y Llyn Camping

Into your hiking? All manner of coastal and woodland walks lead off from the camping field. You can walk sections of the looped Anglesey Coastal Path, or stroll from Lleiniog beach all the way along to Penmon Point (45 minutes’ walk) to spot the black-and-white striped lighthouse and the little islet of Carreg Edwen. If you’d prefer to explore on four legs, you can ride along the seashore from Anglesey Riding Centre (half an hour’s drive). History abounds in these parts too; from your tent you can stroll around ruined Aberlleiniog Castle (20 minutes’ walk) and peek into the vaulted chapel at ancient St Seiriol’s Priory Church (50 minutes), while moated Beaumaris Castle (five minutes’ drive) is open for self-guided tours of its ramparts. Chances are if you’re travelling with kids that they’ll be chomping at the bit to get down to the beach – and luckily you’re spoilt for choice on Anglesey. Rhosneigr’s beaches (35 minutes) are spot on for swimming and surfing, while Traeth Llanddwyn (45 minutes) offers Snowdonia views along with picnic spots in the dunes, and sandy Trearddur Bay (40 minutes) is another watersports hotspot.
