Mike had booked a few days holiday at the end of June, so we decided to go and get a taste of Anglesey. I’d never been before, although Mike apparently visited as a child but couldn’t really remember it. We picked a certified location Caravan club site, which only allows for five pitches, which makes them fairly quiet and are our preference. We have a Bailey Pegasus Verona GT, which is our most luxurious and comfortable van.
Below are manufactures photos of the same van.
So onto the site. We went to Gorsgoch Farm on the Holy Island part of Anglesey, almost as far as you can go. We were obliged to use our own facilities as the site only had electric hook up and waste disposal, but it was no problem as our van has a good toilet and shower .
From our large caravan window we had a great view over the fields and sea, which gave us some wonderful sunsets.
From the site we could walk to a heath on the headland called Penrhosfeilw Common or the Range. A beautiful quiet area covered in heather, some very rare wild flowers and lots of birds. We saw skylarks, stonechats, whinchats, skylarks, possibly a rock pipit and linnet, loads of pied wagtails, swallows and house martins, jackdaws and choughs.
We walked from the Range to the next town – Trearddur (Bay) a 9mile round trip in beautiful sunshine and a gentle breeze. It was so quiet.
It was a lovely peaceful “far from the madding crowd” holiday, helped along by the weather, because there’s not much to do there otherwise.
