A brand new holiday park is coming to Wales. If you love Centre Parcs style breaks, this could be for you. The development is set to be built on Anglesey, perfect for families to take a break by the coast. Penrhos Coastal Park will initially offer 492 holiday lodges and cottages, a luxury spa, swimming pool, sports and leisure facilities and waterside restaurants and cafes.
Located on a country park, it promises woodlands and nature trails for guests to explore sweeping views of the coast. But not everyone is impressed by the plans, with locals concerned about the impact on the environment. The development is being built on Anglesey, an island off the north coast of Wales, near Holyhead, just under 30 minutes from Snowdonia National Park.
The Penrhos site is costing the developer, Seventy Ninth Group, around £250 million, alongside the construction of Cae Glas, a smaller development of 315 lodges which will eventually become an extension of the holiday park. There will also be a separate part of the build project which includes 320 new family homes that will be privately owned.
But the Penrhos holiday development will sit on 200 acres of the area’s country park, which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which campaigners say could impact wildlife. Managing director of Seventy Ninth Group, Jake Webster, said: ‘We look forward to developing the site into a world-class holiday destination in conjunction with the local community, while ensuring we protect the environment for future generations.
