Award-winning Anglesey caravan park gets green light for expansion
Original source: North Wales Chronicle

In Brief

Anglesey council approved an 11-pitch expansion of Maes Carafanau Penbryn. The park, previously honored as the UK's best new caravan site, will add pitches.

Anglesey County Council has approved an expansion of Maes Carafanau Penbryn caravan park near Gwalchmai, adding 11 pitches for self-contained motorhomes and caravans. This follows the approval of 43 pitches after an appeal in June 2024 (according to one source, after a successful appeal following a refusal in 2023).

Owner Richard Evans submitted the application through agent Berwyn Owen. The 0.34-hectare site, previously used for dog walking, will be equipped with fully serviced pitches. The park, which received a national award from Campsites.co.uk as the best new caravan park in the UK, is expanding due to high demand.
