I visited Mid Wales and North Wales at the beginning of the Autumn term. A strange time for me. No school, no routine, and ultimately, no stress.
Tŷ-Gwyn Campsite, Ynyslas, Borth, Ceredigion
A basic campsite but with everything you need. The toilets are clean, the shower costs 20p for two minutes, but at £10.00 per night (grass, non-electric), what’s not to love?
The beach is a short walk away. Borth itself can be reached easily to the left where there are shops and eateries, and most of all, the scenery is beautiful. Beach to one side, mountains to the other. Take a look at my short video to get a feel for the place.
Being away has certainly allowed me the time to reflect….
Tyddyn Goronwy Camping Park, Fford Glan Mor, Tal Y Bont, Gwynedd.
It is quiet when the schools go back. However, a holiday park is not really my scene. Independent sites are more to my liking, yet I wanted to visit Tal y Bont.
The whole area seems to have been taken over by a commercial group. The ‘seaside’ view marred by a ginormous caravan site, restricting access to the beach at that end.
Thankfully, I was able to walk down to the one side of the beach behind the caravan site itself.
The Wales Coast Path is meant to be easily accessible from here as well. However, the route is blocked in places. This saw me coming off and using the road instead.
Penlon Caravan and Camping, Penlon Trefor, Caernarfon, Gwynedd.
Electric grass touring pitch, one night only, costs £22.00. Toilet and shower facilities are clean, shower costs £1.00 and there’s a laundry room too.
Stunning scenery, a mountain backdrop to die for, and a beach, found quite by chance, where I was the only visitor. I love finding places like this.
Llain Ffynnon Camping, Llanfairynghornwy, Holyhead, Anglesey.
£15.00 for a grass non-electric pitch. Toilets and a ‘cold’ shower available.
Amazing views. You can see the ferries coming back and forth. The National trust site, the highest point on Anglesey, is directly behind you. A relatively easy (don’t mind the sheep but certainly not wheelchair accessible) and short walk to reach it.
This is definitely somewhere I want to return to. The farmer and his family are very welcoming, made me feel at ease and happy to help.
The views alone are a reason to came back here.
