Plas Arthur

Finding a decent swimming pool on Anglesey can be a proper challenge, which makes Plas Arthur near Gaerwen all the more welcome. This public pool serves the local community and visiting families who need somewhere reliable for a swim when the Welsh weather turns.

Families staying at nearby parks like Mornest Caravan Park or Y Fronydd will find this a useful backup plan when the sea's too rough or the kids are getting restless. The facility isn't anything fancy - don't expect spa treatments or flash water features - but it does the job well enough.

What you get is straightforward swimming in clean water, which is exactly what most people need after a day exploring Anglesey's coastline. The pool works particularly well for teaching children to swim or getting some proper exercise lengths in.

Location-wise, it's handy for those based around Gaerwen and the central part of the island. You're close enough to dash back to Penbryn Caravan Site or Rhos Farm Caravan Park after your swim without it eating into the whole day.

Best to check opening times before making the trip, as community pools can have unpredictable schedules. It's not going to be the highlight of your Anglesey holiday, but when you need a pool, you need a pool.
