If you are enjoying a pet friendly holiday in North Wales at Tan Rallt Holiday Park, then you will find that there are a plethora of scenic dog friendly walking routes in the region that are just waiting to be explored.

Irrespective of whether you prefer countryside, seaside or mountain routes, you are sure to find a dog walk in North Wales that is perfect for you and your pooch.

We’ve put together a short list highlighting 5 of the best dog walks in North Wales taking into account the many different styles of route that are available to holiday makers staying in the region. Let’s kick off with one of the most famous…

1. Snowdonia
It’s hard not to think of Snowdonia when you are discussing dog walks in North Wales. The mountain is a popular haunt for dog owners thanks to its dog friendly walking routes of varying difficulty and the majestic views which are afforded from the summit.

Probably the best route to take up to the top of Snowdon for dog owners is the Llanberis Path. The total distance of this dog walk is roughly nine miles (there and back), ensuring that it will be a real challenge for certain smaller breeds of dog. Please bear this in mind when deciding which dog walk in North Wales to enjoy.

While this isn’t the shortest route to the summit, it is the one with the smallest incline. This is why it is probably the best route to take with a dog. We would advise making sure that your dog is kept on a lead at all times given the large number of sheep in the region.

2. Great Orme
Llandudno is a great place to head for a fun family day out with your dog thanks to the many pet friendly restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions. The town's biggest attraction (physically and metaphorically) is the Great Orme headland which towers over the resort.

This leads us to our next nomination for the best dog walks in North Wales with there being a circular walk to enjoy around the circumference of the Great Orme starting from the entrance to the pier. This route covers roughly 4.5 miles in length and provides some spectacular vistas. The various walking routes that are available around the Great Orme are clearly highlighted, ensuring that there is no chance of you getting lost.

Alternatively, you can explore the walking routes available around the summit of the Great Orme. To reach here you can jump aboard the historic Great Orme tramway which welcomes well behaved dogs on leads.

3. Bodnant Garden
Colwyn Bay’s Bodnant Gardens are famous around the world, with 80 acres of hillside which are covered in plant life from across the UK and beyond, all of which have been accumulated since the gardens conception in 1874.

If you are a horticultural enthusiast, then there genuinely is nowhere better to enjoy a dog walk in North Wales as you can stroll around the grounds, taking in the woodlands, meadows and formal gardens. While your pooch will be unlikely to appreciate the splendour of the plant life, they will no doubt enjoy soaking up the many new smells and discoveries that they make along the way.

Dogs are welcome to enter the gardens with their owners every Thursday - Sunday as long as they are kept on a short leash and any mess is cleared up along the way.

4. Colwyn Bay to Rhos-on-Sea
Colwyn Bay and Rhos-On-Sea are two of the many beautiful seaside towns that are available to holiday makers in the area surrounding Tan Rallt Holiday Park. You can make the most of your proximity to these resorts by enjoying a scenic coastal walk along the promenade which joins the two towns.

Covering roughly 3 miles in length (there and back), the Colwyn Bay to Rhos-on-Sea walk is flat, scenic and affords exceptional sea views. The promenade has also recently undergone a significant redevelopment, with the local council investing heavily to transform the seafront into one of the most modern in the country. This means free Wi-Fi zones, USB charging points and plenty of quirky seats and picnic tables.

There are plenty of parking opportunities along the seafront and Porth Eirias. However, these are all pay and display so remember to take some spare change in case the more high-tech means of paying for tickets are not available.

5. Prestatyn to Dyserth Railway Walk
Swapping seaside for countryside we have the scenic Prestatyn to Dyserth Railway Walk. This route measures 5 miles in length (there and back) and largely follows the disused railway which ceased operation in the early 1970s.

The railway had previously been used to transport materials from the mines and slate quarries. The decline of these industries naturally led to the railway lines closure. However, on the positive side this has created a scenic and flat walking route between the two towns which is almost entirely devoid of traffic and therefore an ideal dog walking route.
