Places to stay near Dulas - TRAETH YR ORA BEACH

Hi Wil

I love your site. As children, our family used to camp in a farmer's field just before you go down the narrow path to Traeth yr Ora beach. It was very basic, and in fact had just a stand pipe and a pit to empty the loo, but we went there for years and loved it and were often the only people on the beach.

The farm in front of this field had a little shop and kept the most fearsome geese - you had to the gauntlet of these feisty creatures to get to the beach most days.

I and my three brothers and sisters could wander for hours, pretending we were in the 2nd World War, as we played in the lookout towers in what is now the coastal path before coming home to eat mussels we'd harvested from Red Wharf Bay. I even remember swimming in our jumpers when it was extra cold.

Very happy days! We always come back to Anglesey every year, often for the day - to celebrate someone's birthday or just because.

I was reading the piece you've written about the path down to the beach at Dulas and you mention a little field on the right with about 8 caravans hidden from the world. Do you happen to know if these can be rented out as I am planning a big family reunion, ideally as close to our old field as possible.

This is a really long shot, but I don't suppose you know who owns the farmer's field - looking on google maps, there appears to be a single static caravan on there now so they may even let us camp?

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for the lovely insights to the island.
