Someone turned up on a Welsh beach with a pet lamb and people couldn't quite believe it

One unexpected beachgoer became the main attraction on a beach in Wales. People soaking up the sun were stunned to see a little lamb on Abersoch Main Beach, Gwynedd.

The cute lamb was seen strolling along the beach, following a man and woman who were accompanied by their dog. Chris Chetwood shared a picture of the unexpected visitor on social media, saying: “Thought I’d seen it all until today.”

One beach visitor wondered if the image had been “photosheeped.” However, North Wales Live reports that many people were happy to share the popular beach with the lamb, which was seen strolling around freeling while the couple's dog was on a lead.

From having a conversation with the couple, one person visiting Abersoch Main Beach learnt the lamb was an orphan and was “well looked after”. Another commenter said his wife had spotted the couple carrying their lamb from the beach car park, and later told her husband what she’d seen. “I thought she had lost the plot!” he said.

“Nice to see Mary on the beach again,” said another person, who suggested it wasn’t the lamb’s first visit to the Llŷn Peninsula beach.
