Berthlwyd Hall Holiday Park - July 1st 2025

North Wales comes alive in summer, offering the perfect blend of coast, countryside, and culture. If you're lucky enough to be staying in a holiday park or static caravan near Conwy, Anglesey, or Caernarfon, you’re perfectly placed to explore some of the region’s best days out. Whether you’re after beach days, family attractions, or scenic adventures, here are five unmissable things to do near your North Wales caravan this summer.

1. Explore Conwy Castle and the Town Walls

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Conwy Castle is one of the most iconic medieval fortresses in the UK. Take a walk along the 13th-century town walls for unbeatable views of the estuary, Snowdonia, and the charming town below. Kids love climbing the towers, and there's plenty of history for adults to enjoy too.

Perfect for: Half-day trips, history lovers, families

2. Spend a Day at Newborough Beach and Forest

One of Anglesey’s best-kept secrets, Newborough offers golden sands, shallow waters ideal for paddling, and a pine forest full of nature trails. The walk to Ynys Llanddwyn island is a must — with its lighthouse, wild ponies, and romantic ruins.

Perfect for: Beach days, dog walks, nature lovers

3. Ride the Snowdon Mountain Railway

No summer trip to North Wales is complete without seeing Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Wales’ highest peak. If hiking isn’t your thing, take the heritage railway from Llanberis all the way to the summit. Book early — it’s a popular experience.

Perfect for: Scenic views, bucket list moments

For a summer splash, head to the calm waters between Anglesey and mainland Wales. Several local operators offer paddleboard and kayak hire, and it’s a great way to see the coastline from a different angle.
