Looking for scenic dog walks on Anglesey to enjoy with your four legged companion? Then you are in luck, 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.

It is 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 Silver Bay Beach circular.

From Silver Bay 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. The 25th January is known as Santes Dwynwen Day which is the equivalent of Valentine’s Day and is celebrated every year 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.

From the car park you can pick up a walking trail to the lighthouse Trwyn Du, on Black Point and discover the stunning vistas along the Anglesey coastal paths. The village of Penmon is well worth exploring. It has a fascinating history with the 12th century Pemon Priory. Here you will discover the ancient hermit’s well, the magnificent dove house and the medieval church.

The long, low, whitewashed building which was originally home to three lighthouse pilots and their families in the early 1800’s at which time it was made up of 3 separate cottages. This is now the Pilot -House Café and offers walkers a selection of hot & cold snacks, ice-creams, speciality coffees & a variety of tempting cakes. They also serve delicious Welsh cream teas. The cafe occupies a unrivalled position looking out towards Puffin Island. This is a great spot from which to see the many seabirds or observe the seals and dolphins who inhabit the surrounding waters.

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.
