Day 15 – A Dog’s Dream Day and Sunset

After many full days of hiking, photographing, and exploring, today offered a more relaxed pace—a chance to unwind a little and let the dogs enjoy the spotlight.

We started the day with lunch at the Oystercatcher Restaurant, a fantastic dog-friendly place that really goes the extra mile for its four-legged guests. Awen and Nessy were thrilled to find their own dog menu, and they each got a full serving of fresh chicken breast—needless to say, it disappeared quickly. The food for us humans wasn’t too bad either: delicious, fresh, and enjoyed in the sunny outdoor seating area.

After lunch, we made our way down to the nearby beach where the dogs could let loose. Chasing waves, digging in the sand, and sprinting across the shoreline, they were absolutely in their element. It’s always a joy to see how much happiness a bit of sand and sea can bring to them—and to us, too.

In the afternoon, we visited a dog agility park, where Awen in particular had an amazing time. He flew through the obstacles with energy and excitement, clearly loving the challenge. Nessy preferred a gentler pace, trotting through a few hurdles before laying down in the grass to supervise.

To close out the day, we headed to South Stack Lighthouse, perched dramatically on the cliffs of Holy Island. The evening light began to soften just as we arrived, painting the sky with gentle hues of gold, pink, and blue. As the sun dipped closer to the horizon, the lighthouse lit up in the warm glow, making for a stunning scene—and the perfect subject for the day’s final photographs.

We lingered there as long as we could, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere and letting the sea breeze carry the moment into memory.Read more
