North Wales is a remarkably beautiful region which truly has something for everyone. It’s stunning mountains and rugged coastline make it the perfect destination for a lodge holiday with your four legged friend…
Snowdonia National Park is arguably the region’s most breath taking destination, with its wild landscapes and charming villages steeped in history. The perfect spot for lovers of the outdoors, the park is a fantastic place to walk with your furry friend..
Walk up Snowdon to its 3,560ft peak and take in the sensational views across the sea to Ireland. If a hike isn’t on the cards, you can use the Snowdon Railway, an iconic vintage steam railway which takes you on an unforgettable voyage right up to the peak.
North Wales has become a real hot-spot for adventure in recent years. While the illustrious National Park may be best known for hiking and impressive walking routes, there are also numerous opportunities to try out other outdoor sports such as mountain biking, climbing, rafting, canoeing, and horse riding.
If that’s not enough thrill-seeking for you, head over to Zip World where you can soar over one of Snowdonia’s lakes at 100mph on the longest zip line in the world, or bounce on giant nets in underground caverns which were once a Victorian slate mine. Adventure in North Wales really is endless!
But that’s not all North Wales has to offer. The region has a wild and diverse 250 mile stretch of coastline which is home to golden, sandy beaches, secluded coves, holy islands, and a rich array of wildlife. Off the coast of Anglesey, there are regular sightings of bottle nose dolphins, bobbing heads of seals, and beautiful birds of prey.
Dotted along the rugged Welsh shores are some of the most well preserved castles in the whole of Europe, each with fascinating history to discover. The famous walled town of Conwy, along with Caernarfon Castle and Beaumaris Castle make up an impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site of architectural splendour and culture.
The bustling seaside towns of Llandudno and Conwy are great for family days out, while the remote island of Anglesey is packed with sandy beaches and picturesque country villages for a real Welsh experience. There’s so much to see, do, and experience in this beautifully wild part of Wales.
Luxury Lodge Stays offer a selection of Pet Friendly lodge holidays in North Wales including family friendly sites with activities for children, and luxury lodges with hot tubs for that romantic break.

As you set off, be sure to take in the views of the lake and the surrounding natural scenery. Lots of rare plant and animal species can be found here. Dogs are allowed off their leads. However, the area is protected and it’s best to keep an eye on your dog just in case.

Yr Eifl is a trio of mountain peaks on the north coast of the Llyn Peninsula. Garn Ganol is the central summit; it’s also the highest, towering 1,457 feet high. If you’re feeling fit and your dog’s up for the challenge, take on the challenge of climbing this peak together. You can reach the peak on a simple there-and-back route. It’s quite the climb and is fairly steep to start with. Later on, it mostly consists of rocky, uneven terrain.
If you and your dog complete this walk, you’ll no doubt feel a great sense of achievement. The good news is that there are some restaurants and pubs in the vicinity where you can enjoy a post-hike meal. If they’re not dog friendly, you should be able to at least sit outside with your dog.
Each of these walking routes is worthwhile. Pick any of them and you’ll get to see more of what makes North Wales a great place to visit. Discover the area’s stunning coastline, picturesque hinterlands and more, all while getting some healthy exercise with your canine companion.
