Wales is undeniably excellent for dog-friendly holidays. There are wide, sandy beaches begging to be raced upon by over-excitable pups; mountains to climb for epic views; forests and woodland to explore (with plenty of red squirrels), and there’s a spectacular 870-mile coastal path offering near-endless walking opportunities.
You might want to escape to Anglesey, a small island off the north coast of Wales, with beautiful beaches, an intriguing unfinished castle and some of the finest pine forest for miles around. Or go deep into Snowdonia National Park to scale the heights of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and its surrounding peaks, with the dog by your side. The Brecon Beacons offer equally exciting walking opportunities, and Pembrokeshire has some of the finest Blue Flag beaches in the whole of the UK – many of which are dog-friendly year-round.
