Tips

Just off the A55 near Holyhead sits a popular country park which attracts more than 100,000 visitors each year. Penrhos Coastal Park is considered one of Anglesey's hidden gems, but hidden within it is also one of North Wales' most unusual attractions.

For decades, people have gathered in a section of woodland within the 200 acre park to mourn their four-legged friends. Tucked away within the forest is a pet cemetery where dozens of animals have been buried since the 1980s.

Tens of miniature headstones make up this unique spot which is open to the public. Each year thousands of people visit the coastal park but some are left puzzled when they encounter a pet memorial along the way.
