  • Gravel touring pitches at a rural site with views of Eryri peaks
  • Llanddwyn Island 20 minutes’ drive; Caernarfon half an hour
  • Restaurant with alfresco dining and covered pods; drinking water
Mountain views, sandy beaches and a rich cultural heritage – what more do you need to click on the green button and book your spot at Afon Braint? This peaceful rural site – which is so close to the Welsh river of the same name and its Giant Rhuddgaer Stepping Stones (15 minutes’ walk), it has borrowed that very name for itself – sits on Anglesey’s south-eastern corner, within the coastal belt that makes up the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. On the A4080 road between the villages of Niwbwrch (just under a mile, about 20 minutes on foot) and Dwyran (five minutes’ drive or a 25-minute walk), Afon Braint comes with spacious gravel touring pitches. Be aware that there is no electric hook-up; what is there, though, are essentials such as a toilet block and fresh drinking water, plus grey and chemical waste disposal points. Spectacular views of the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) accompany the meals you consume in the picnic area, and there’s also a restaurant with a large patio and covered pods if you want to take in the mountain vistas regardless of the weather. The nearest pub is in Niwbwrch, which also has a fish and chip shop and a supermarket, with more shopping and dining options in Llangefni (20 minutes) and Bangor (25 minutes). Windswept strolls await at Maes Parcio Ynys Llanddwyn and Newborough Beach (15 minutes), a nature reserve with a large dune system, marshes and a pine forest, plus tidal Llanddwyn Island (20 minutes), with a lighthouse overlooking the rocky shore. .

Electric optional gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Nick was a great host, really welcoming and gave us some great recommendations of places to walk and things to visit whilst there. We ordered pizza from the cafe to be delivered in the evening and it was lovely! Nice level pitches with a great view (weather permitting!) and the toilet was clean and warm and not too far from the van.
