Less than a three hour’s drive from Greater Manchester is a beauty spot which resembles more of the Californian coast than a UK seaside destination. Lined with towering Corsican pines and with views of the Snowdonian mountains in the distance, Newborough forest in Anglesey is a breathtaking location.
It has a vast golden beach which appears to stretch on for miles. A haven for wildlife, you may spot red squirrels scurrying up the trees, ospreys hunting for fish and wild ponies grazing on the dunes, North Wales Live reports.
Nearby is the tidal island of Ynys Llanddwyn, often described as the most romantic place in Wales. It isn’t surprising that one recent visitor to Newborough - which is dog friendly - called it “the stuff of dreams”.
