Looking for scenic dog walks on Anglesey to enjoy with your four legged companion? Then you are in look, because Anglesey has plenty of them, some of which are directly accessible from our two luxury holiday parks on the island.

Whether you want rugged coastal vista or tranquil countryside environment, there is sure to be an Anglesey dog walk that is right for you. 

We’ve quizzed our own furry friends and combined this with our own experiences to put together a list of the top 5 best dog walks on Anglesey for those who are holiday home owners at one of our two resorts. Let’s start with two that are right on the doorstep of our Anglesey Holiday Parks::

1. Lligwy Beach and Lligwy Burial Chamber

The award winning Lligwy beach is just a 10 minute walk away from Woodland Falls Holiday Park. It was named the best beach in Wales in a survey by The Sunday Times in 2021, with its soft sands and clean waters making it an excellent destination for a family day out at the seaside.

However, it is also dog friendly throughout the year and a great place from which to start a coastal walk with your four legged companion. Once you arrive at the beach, we’d recommend heading towards the famous Neolithic burial chamber which is 0.8 miles up the road. Irrespective of whether you are looking for dog walks on Anglesey or not, this is a great location to visit as it provides a fascinating insight into historic civilizations who inhabited the area. 

Once you have reached the burial chamber, you can opt to head back towards Lligwy Beach or take a bit more of a stroll along the Anglesey Coastal Path where you can soak up the stunning coastal views

2. Silver Bay Beach Circular

One of the benefits of owning a holiday home at Silver Bay Holiday Park is that you will enjoy having private access to one of the best beaches in Anglesey. Winner of the Green Coast Award in recognition of beaches which have high environmental quality, Silver Bay beach is also dog friendly throughout the year making it a great destination from which to start an Anglesey dog walk.

The beach forms part of the famous Anglesey Coastal Path, which extends for a total of 135 miles. While we aren’t recommending that you complete the whole journey around the island, one route that you may want to take into consideration is the Lligwy Beach circular.

From Lligwy beach you should head towards Borth Wen beach and then turn around to complete your journey. With Silver Bay Beach tending to be off the beaten track, this is a great little 2.3 mile walk where you can truly relax away from the noise and simply enjoy the scenery. 

3. Newborough Forest and Llanddwyn Island

This iconic walk starts in Newborough Forest, a dog friendly woodland with lots of space for off-lead exploring. Once you have walked through the forest you will find yourself close to Llanddwyn Island which is home to the remains of St Dwynwen’s Church. 

The church is named after the Celtic princess who is known as the Welsh patron saint of lovers. This also makes it an ideal work for loved up couples, particularly around Valentine’s Day or on the 25th January which is better known as St Dwynwen’’s Day in Wales. While you are at the church, you can look down the Holy well which is populated with eels. It is said that if the eels are jumping when you observe them you are likely to find yourself lucky in love.

Your tour of the area can be completed by exploring the two 19th century lighthouses on the island before completing your return trek by which time you will have completed a total of 4 miles. One word of warning is that you should keep your pooch on a lead whilst on Llanddwyn Island on account of the local wildlife. 

4. Penmon Point Walk

Penmon Point offers a rocky coastal walk with views of Puffin Island, plus access to the historic Penmon Priory and Dovecot. There’s a private road toll, but it’s dog-friendly and a peaceful spot for a coastal stroll. In total, this is a walk of less than 2 miles so is far from taxing for dogs or owners.

You will start the walk from Penmon Priory before heading towards the 17th century giant dovecote which was designed to house over 1,000 pigeons. Heading back onto the road, you should then turn left before passing a cottage on the right hand side. Here you will find a stile on the opposite side of the road to the cottage. Head towards the wall up ahead of you and turn right once you reach it. 

At this point you will find yourself on a lane before bearing right and then turning left onto the coastal path to pass through a field. Pass through this open area and go left at the fork in the path to head towards the shore. 

From here you can walk along the rugged coastline before reaching the coastguard cottages. This is a great spot from which to see the many seabirds or observe the seal and dolphins who inhabit the waters looking out towards Puffin Island. Once you have finished sightseeing, you can take the lane at the cottages which will lead you back towards the Penmon Priory.

5. Beaumaris Pier and Coastline Walk

This is one of the shorter walks on our list of recommended dog walks on Anglesey, but it is worth it just in order to explore the wonderful town of Beaumaris which is filled with attractions. With its historic pier, charming streets which are filled with quirky local stores and remarkable 13th century castle, there are plenty of sites to see as you stroll around the town. 

The total length of the walk is unlikely to be longer than 2 miles unless you start retracing your steps. However, there are plenty of dog friendly cafes to frequent along the way. This includes Jolly’s Coffee House & Patisserie on Bulkeley Terrace where dogs are welcome to join their owners inside. The friendly onsite team will even provide your pooch with his own drinking bowl should you make the request. 

Beaumaris Castle is also well worth visiting with its fully functional water filled moat and near perfect symmetrical design. There is a fee to actually enter the castle grounds, but humans are welcome to be accompanied by their furry companions on the tour.
