Anglesey, an island nestled off the northwest coast of Wales, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and diverse landscapes. From rugged coastal cliffs to tranquil forests and picturesque beaches, this idyllic island offers plenty of opportunities for dog owners to explore. Whether you're a local or a visitor seeking the perfect dog-friendly adventure, Anglesey has a variety of scenic walks to suit every preference. Here, we present the top five dog walks in Anglesey, promising unforgettable experiences and Instagram-worthy posts.

Newborough Forest and Llanddwyn Beach

• Car Park Location: //roadblock.notebook.coconut (what3words)
• Parking: Car parking charges apply. Pay on exit
• Length of walk: 30mins+ (Multiple trails to follow)
• Accessibility: Uneven ground 
• Difficulty: Easy to medium depending on the trail

Begin your adventure with a stroll through Newborough Forest, where towering pine trees provide shade and tranquillity. If you follow the well-marked trails and emerge from the forest, you'll be greeted by the breath taking sight of Llanddwyn Beach. Let your dog chase the waves from the Irish Sea, before taking a leisurely walk to the iconic Llanddwyn Island, steeped in myth and legend. The large carpark is equipped with toilets and refreshments so you can spend all day exploring but if you did want to bring your own snacks there is a lovely picnic area which overlooks the beach.

Lyn Cefni Lake

• Car Park Location: //compacts.snuggled.daisy (what3words)
• Parking: Free parking is available
• Length of walk: 45mins - 2hrs
• Accessibility: Uneven ground and the old railway track can be slippy during poorer weather conditions.
• Difficulty: Easy to medium depending on the loop taken

This lake offers two beautiful circular dog walks, great if you want a 45-minute walk as you can cut through the lake by following the train tracks. Or, if you want a longer adventure, you can walk around the whole lake. This walk is a little bit more accessible and easy-going with the majority of the walk having distinct trails. If you are lucky you might even see the mountains of Snowdonia. Unfortunately this loop doesn't have many places to sit down so a picnic blanket is a must if your looking for a mid-walk rest. There are plenty of beautiful areas you can take your pick from. But be fast because the car park is on the small side!

Traeth Mawr in Aberffraw 

• Car Park Location: //Racetrack.feeds.belong (what3words)
• Parking: Free parking is available
• Length of walk: 1- 2hrs 
• Accessibility: Uneven ground over the dunes
• Difficulty: Easy to medium depending on the trail

This translates to big beach in English and it's exactly that! A long stretch of golden sands completely unspoiled with plenty of wildlife to see (keep an eye out for snails!). Did you know, Anglesey is completely free from grey squirrels - you'll only find red squirrels on the island! This really is the perfect walk for all dogs whether your pup likes to swim or prefers to climb the dunes. There is something for everyone! It's perfect for owners too because if you prefer a circular walk you follow the river down to the shore and then head across the dunes back to the car park. This beach is popular on hot days so I would recommend getting there early to avoid disappointment. However during the off season you could have the beach to yourself which is great for reactive or nervous dogs.

Beaumaris

• Car Park Location: //nuns.flamingo.written (what3words)
• Parking: Car parking charges apply. Pay on entry.
• Length of walk: 30mins+ 
• Accessibility: Paths can be small so partially accessible 
• Difficulty: Easy

If you prefer a bit more hustle and bustle then Beaumaris, a charming seaside town nestled on the shores of Anglesey, would be perfect for you! Prepare for a delightful stroll filled with quaint shops and picturesque views. Start your adventure by meandering through the lovely streets, where you'll stumble upon delightful boutiques. These include the Janet Bell Gallery, showcasing local artistry at its finest. A leisurely walk along the shoreline will give you stunning views of the Menai Strait and the Snowdonia mountain range in the distance, providing a breath taking backdrop for a picnic.
