Luxury Fishing Holidays in North Wales

When it comes to fishing holidays in North Wales, few destinations can match the combination of breathtaking scenery, diverse fishing opportunities and luxury holiday accommodation that make this part of the country such a special place to visit. Whether you are an experienced angler searching for your next big catch or a beginner keen to spend a peaceful couple of hours by the water, North Wales offers endless possibilities.

Here at Pario, we have four luxury holiday parks which are ideally located for fishing holidays in North Wales, providing guests with access to some of the most popular angling destinations in the country. With access to coastlines, lakes and rivers, you’ll have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to picking your next angling destination.

Unquestionably, one of the best places to stay for a fishing holiday in North Wales is Gimblet Rock Holiday Park. Perfectly located on the edge of the Llyn Peninsula, Gimblet Rock provides guests with direct access to Gimblet Rock beach and its famous rocky outcrops which are the ideal destination for shore fishing. You’ll be able to step straight from your holiday accommodation into one of the most rewarding fishing spots in the area, mixing rugged rocks with sandy stretches. This part of the Llyn Peninsula coastline is renowned for its abundance of fish and the peaceful atmosphere that makes every trip memorable.

Sea fishing is one of the main attractions at Gimblet Rock, with anglers regularly catching species such as mackerel, pollock, wrasse and bass, with the chance of landing something special always just a cast away. The tidal waters here are rich and varied, ensuring that fishing remains exciting throughout the year. For those who enjoy the rhythm of beach casting, the wide sandy bays nearby provide ample opportunities, while the rocky outcrops offer a more adventurous challenge for anyone hoping to target larger species.

Beyond Gimblet Rock, the Llyn Peninsula is a treasure trove for anyone planning fishing holidays in North Wales. From Pwllheli Harbour, which lies adjacent to Gimblet Rock Holiday Park, you can take charter boats out into deeper waters where you may encounter cod, conger eel or even tope. These trips are ideal for groups or solo holidaymakers who want to try something new, as experienced skippers can guide you to some of the best spots and provide all the equipment you need. The sheltered waters of Cardigan Bay are also known for their stunning views, making a day’s fishing here as visually rewarding as it is exciting.

Inland, North Wales is home to numerous lakes and rivers that are perfect for freshwater fishing. One of the most popular in the region is Bala Lake, which is the largest natural lake in Wales and an outstanding location for anglers. Here you can fish for species such as perch, pike, trout and the unique gwyniad, a rare fish found only in this lake.

The River Dee, which flows through stunning landscapes, is world-famous for its salmon and trout fishing. With its flowing waters and peaceful banks, it is a favourite destination for those seeking a more traditional angling experience.

Closer to the coast, the estuaries and sheltered inlets of North Wales provide plenty of sea fishing opportunities. The Menai Strait is a particularly productive spot, offering a mix of saltwater and tidal fishing where bass, flounder and mullet are often caught. For those who enjoy the thrill of variety, this is a superb place to spend a day exploring should you decide to take the short trip across to Anglesey from the mainland.

All of these destinations are within a one hour drive of Tan Rallt Holiday Park in Abergele. Here we offer a range of luxury lodges and static caravan accommodation, all of which come with self catering facilities. This is ideal for anglers who are looking to complete the catch and cook experience. If your day of fishing hasn’t been fruitful however, you can instead opt to dine at our on-site restaurant which serves a selection of freshly cooked British & international classics.

Alternatively, if you are booking a group fishing holiday in North Wales with friends, then you’ll love our luxury farmhouse accommodation at Bryn Defaid Holiday Park. Alongside the modern kitchen and cosy dining areas, the farmhouse also has its own outdoor hot tub, pizza oven and BBQ. There is space for up to six guests here across the three lavish bedrooms, with the master suite coming with its own juliet balcony.

Whichever Pario Holiday Park you choose, you can be sure that you will be returning to warm and comfortable accommodation come the end of each day. Gimblet Rock is always popular with anglers because of the immediate access it provides to one of the best fishing spots in the country. Imagine waking up to the sound of waves, grabbing your rod and heading out onto the rocks just as the sun begins to rise. For many of our guests, this simple pleasure is a highlight of their holiday and the reason they return year after year for another luxury fishing holiday in North Wales with Pario Holiday Parks.
