A simply stunning island on an island. It’s a great place to visit and also walk the beaches. It is right next to Newborough forest which has a myriad of walks in a forest setting and is abundant with red squirrels and ravens. Truly a great day out - take a picnic as there is only a small food van on site. Another lovely place to walk dogs too

Take a picnic and prepare for a great day out! There are so many trails through the forest and lots of wildlife you can also visit llandwyn island which is very picturesque and is a must for a selfie. Try and set off early as in high season it can get very busy on the car park. There’s also beautiful beaches but not much in terms of food. If you want to make it a full day out then restaurants are close by. Look at The Oyster Catcher, Sandymount, Sullivan’s or Sandys in the eating out section
