It’s National Dog Walking Month!
We all know that when we want to go on holiday, we are reluctant to leave our furry friends behind. So when you are visiting our Holiday Parks across North Wales, why not explore the best dog-friendly walks and picturesque paths which will ensure a perfect day out for you and your friend.
Llyn Elsi, Betws-Y-Coed
Llyn Elsi in Betws-y-Coed is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the Gwdir Forest. This woodland walk gives your four-legged friend the opportunity to roam around and stretch their little legs. Whilst the lake offers peace and tranquillity for both walkers and their furry friends it is also close by to Betws-y-Coed’s Village which has lots more to see and do.
This route is by far one of the easiest and suitable for all dog types, so why not give it a go?
Snowdon Summit, Gwynedd (featuring Cookie) @aimee_fai
Not for the faint-hearted or short-legged pooches, the summit of Snowdon is one of the most Instagrammed spots of 2021! Carefully plan your route, wardrobe and essentials as there’s increased pressure on mountain rescue teams during peak season due to unknowing and ill-prepared tourists taking a wrong turn!Penmon Point and
Penmon Point & Lighthouse, Anglesey (@aliroobs)
Penmon Point Beach, or Trwyn Du (Black Point) in Welsh, sits on the eastern tip of the beautiful Isle of Anglesey around 3 miles from the historic town of Beaumaris. This working lighthouse sits proudly on the coast which overlooks Puffin Island, and during the evening the sky is so clear that sometimes, the northern lights are visible!
Aber Falls, Abergwyngregyn (featuring Kyro) @kyrotheknight
Just off the A55, This walk leading up to the stunning Rhaeadr Fawr waterfall, is a favourite among locals. There are plenty of opportunities to connect with nature along the way – if you’re lucky you might even get a glimpse of the elusive Carneddau Mountain ponies. With a gently sloping incline it is an ideal walk if you’re a dog owner with a pushchair or mobility scooter as the only real obstacles are the gates, which are fully accessible. There are several delightful picnic stops along the way, as well as an interesting exhibition on how the surrounding area was worked during ancient times.
Great Orme, Llandudno (featuring Muttley ) @muttley_thechorkie
The Great Orme is an imposing prehistoric monolith, comprised of interesting rock formations, ancient relics, a tangled history and incredible sea views. On a clear days walkers will be treated to views of Anglesey and Liverpool Bay and there are several, well sign-posted walks to choose from, depending on your interests or fitness levels.
