Where are the best places to camp out in Wales near a beach (UK)?

Q. There's always a group of at least four of us, we usually go to shell island :D
Just fancy a change of scenery, as long as there's a beach near by, toilets, shower block, we're happy,
Oh and where can we take the car on the beach? And camp on tha beach? :)

Answer
you can take the car on the beach at Pensarn, near Abergele, but you can't camp on the beach there, although there is a campsite nearby at Manorafon which is in the grounds of Gwrych Castle

there's a campsite right next to the beach at Ullapool, just round the headland from the ferry terminal ... and Butterflowers at Haverigg is right next to the beach too

I want to go camping?

I want to go camping this week for a day or two i live in manchester Im under 18 and ok with Wild camping its me and my friend Any ieas on where to go ??


Answer
Strictly speaking, wild camping in England and Wales is illegal. However, if you are sensible about it, you can get away with it. By sensible I mean:
- just yourself and maybe one or two others
- pitch well away from settlements, roads and paths
- pitch at dusk and leave at dawn
- don't have a fire
- keep noise to a minimum
- leave the area you camp as you found it
- take all litter home

Near Manchester, the best spots would be the Peak District, the Lake District, Snowdonia, the Yorkshire Dales and the Pennine moorland in between the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Because of a lot of damage caused by fires started by wild campers, the rangers of the Peak District often patrol popular spots and move folk on. In the Lake District, the guidelines are that you camp above 600metres; however, some spots get very busy so choose carefully. Snowdonia can also be every busy. The Yorkshire dales are not as remote and quiet as the other spots, so you may struggle to find a place away from settlements and people. Finally, the Pennine moors seem to be the best choice; they're probably the nearest, remotest, and quietest. As long as you stay away from the Penninne Way you may not see another soul.

Hope this helps - happy camping!
