Directions: In Valley, take B4545 SP Trearddur Bay (R turn from Holyhead, L turn from Bangor). Cross Four Mile Bridge, then take 1st left SP Rhoscolyn. Continue for about 1.5 miles. There is a junction on the left SP Silver Bay - the entrance to Pentre Iago Farm is immediately to the right of the side road.

There are two camping fields, one exclusively for Camping & Caravanning Club Members, which is at the bottom of the lane & opposite the farmhouse. The bigger field, to the right of the lane as you go down it, is open to all. The C&CC field is small, fairly flat and is closer to the facilities. The bigger field has quite a slope and is a bit rough in places. There is a water tap in each field. There are no electric hook-ups.

Facilities are limited to one toilet and a cold-water washbasin, but they are kept clean and loo roll is provided (always an important factor if you've walked from the furthest point on the site!). The loo is a couple of hundred yards away from the top of the bigger field.
This is a very basic site but is in an excellent situation.

There are good views across the bay from both fields, and in the back garden there is a viewpoint showing all the mountains that can be seen across on the mainland - Mrs Jones' late husband created this. On a clear day it is a magnificent view and the whole of the Lleyn peninsula can be seen stretching into the west.

The site is within 5 minutes walk of the White Eagle pub, which serves food and a range of good beers, and within 10 minutes walk of a lovely beach, Borthwen. From here you can walk in either direction over the cliffs with fabulous views. The cliffs are popular with climbers and the bay itself with divers. Boats can be launched from the beach. Dogs are allowed on the beach. A good view of the bay can be found here

You can walk to the beach or pub via footpaths running from the site - a nice alternative to the road but not practical with pushchairs!

Although Rhoscolyn is only a couple of miles from Trearddur Bay it is a different world entirely, very quiet most of the time and the beach is rarely crowded, even at high tide. The beach is a favourite late night after-pub walk; when there is a full moon it is a magical place. Last summer a few of us went walking on the beach at midnight, only to find the wet sand sparkling underfoot! This is a phenomenon called 'noctiluca', or 'sea-sparkle', and is a fairly common occurrence, although none of us had ever seen it before. Even the edges of the waves were sparkling in the moonlight. It was a fantastic moment.
