Here at Finley & Fox, we are dog lovers and lovers of the beautiful area we live in too, and we know our dogs particularly enjoy some of the fantastic walks in the area.
We have compiled a few of our favourites for you below, and they are all within a 40 minute drive from Beaumaris, so you can always visit our lovely Finley & Fox shop first ;)
In this guide, we'll take you on a journey to discover some of the best dog-friendly walks on Anglesey!
1. Newborough Forest and Beach:
Begin your adventure at Newborough Forest, where towering pine trees provide shade and shelter on sunny days. Follow the trails through the forest, listening to the tranquil sounds of nature as you make your way towards the beach**. Here, your dog can enjoy bounding across the sandy shores and splashing in the waves.
2. South Stack Cliffs:
For breathtaking coastal views and dramatic cliffside walks, head to South Stack Cliffs Nature Reserve. Traverse the rugged terrain with your canine companion by your side, taking in the sights and sounds of seabirds soaring overhead and waves crashing against the rocks below. Our durable Sophie Allport dog leads are designed to withstand even the most adventurous outings, ensuring that your pet stays safe and secure as you explore these magnificent cliffs.
This is also a hotspot for puffins, so keep your eyes peeled and you may be lucky enough to spot one! If not, you could always spot one on one of our Puffin Prints chocolate bars instead!!
3. Aberffraw to Malltraeth Estuary:
Follow the scenic path from the quaint village of Aberffraw to the tranquil shores of Malltraeth Estuary. This leisurely walk offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the opportunity for your dog to frolic in the shallow waters of the estuary. As you meander along the coastal path, enjoy the convenience of our Sophie Allport dog collars, equipped with sturdy buckles and rope design for easy handling.
4. Llanddwyn Island:
Step back in time as you explore the enchanting island of Llanddwyn, steeped in Welsh mythology and maritime history. Wander through fields of wildflowers and past ancient ruins, eventually reaching the island's sandy beaches where your dog can run free and soak up the sunshine**.
Our Sophie Allport Fetch dog walking bags are ideal for this sort of adventure, the perfect size for everything you and your furry friend need, without becoming heavy or overbearing on your hike!
5. Penmon Point
Located on the eastern tip of Anglesey, Penmon Point is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by adventurers and nature enthusiasts. As you make your way towards this coastal paradise, you'll be greeted by stunning views of the Menai Strait and the towering Penmon Lighthouse, standing as a beacon against the backdrop of the Irish Sea.
Penmon Point offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical charm. Take a leisurely stroll along the coastal path, breathing in the salty sea air and marveling at the rugged coastline dotted with sea caves and rocky outcrops. Keep an eye out for seals basking on the rocks and seabirds soaring overhead!
For those seeking a deeper connection to the past, explore the ancient ruins of Penmon Priory, a historic site dating back to the medieval era. Wander through the picturesque churchyard, where centuries-old gravestones bear witness to the island's rich heritage and storied past.
At Penmon Point, you and your four-legged companion can enjoy moments of quiet contemplation and peaceful solitude, surrounded by the beauty of nature. You can also enjoy a coffee or something a bit stronger in the gorgeous dog friendly Pilot House Cafe, a personal favourite of ours.
Anglesey offers a wealth of dog-friendly walks that are sure to delight both you and your furry companion, and these are just a few of our personal favourites.
From sandy beaches to rugged cliffs and tranquil estuaries, there's something for every nature lover to enjoy, all within a short drive. And with our Sophie Allport dog leads, you can embark on your outdoor adventures with confidence, knowing that your pet is safe, stylish, and ready for whatever the island has to offer.
So grab your lead, pack some treats, and get ready to explore the stunning landscapes of Anglesey together!
**Certain times of the year some beach access on Anglesey is limited for off-lead dogs/dogs in general, so be sure to double check this before you go to avoid any disappointment!
** Unfortunately, sunshine not always guarenteed!!
