Unless arriving by boat into Holyhead’s busy port, your first glimpse of Anglesey is likely to come from atop one of the two stoic bridges spanning the Menai Strait, a narrow but fierce funnel of water separating the island from the Welsh mainland. Having crossed onto the island, stretch your legs and get a closer look at the colossal Menai Bridge ...
In 2019, Anglesey became the first county in the UK to be awarded Plastic Free Community status by marine conservation group Surfers Against Sewage(SAS) as a result of its campaign to minimize its reliance on single-use plastics. While this may serve as an additional draw to the island for tourists, Sian Sykes, Anglesey’s SAS rep – who has litter-p...
Start your first full day in Anglesey bright and early with a walk along one of its best beaches. Newborough Beach is a long, dune-backed stretch of white sand that dusts the island’s southwestern corner, with dramatic vistas of Snowdonia mountain range visible from across the strait. Visitors can pay to park at the Government-run beachside car par...
Having spent the morning marvelling at Anglesey’s pastoral charms, dedicate Saturday afternoon to seeking out some of the island’s impressive wildlife highlights. Boat trips run year-round to Ynys Seiriol, better known by its moniker of Puffin Island. You’ll need to visit during breeding season (from May to July) to be in with a chance of spotting ...
After a busy day of sightseeing, it’s only right to spend the evening dining like a monarch. Located in the out-of-the-way village of Rhoscolyn (it seems privacy is paramount when you’re a royal), The White Eaglewas a firm favorite with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their time on the island. According to the jovial landlord, the Duke wou...
Given Anglesey’s legion of celebrated seafood restaurants and cool artsy cafes, it might come as a surprise to learn that one of the island’s most highly-rated eateries is actually a burger van. Recently relocated to its new scenic location near Holyhead Marina, ever-busy Pete’s Burger Bar rustles up bun-encased grub of the spill-out-into-your-lap ...
No half-decent trip to Wales is complete without a visit to a castle, and Unesco-listed Beaumaris Castle(Castell Biwmares) is a beauty, even if it never quite lived up to expectations. The castle was planned to be the last and the greatest royal stronghold built by Edward I, with four layers of defence and sixteen stone towers aligned in near-perfe...
Anglesey is a relatively small island, measuring around 22 miles (35km) in length from north to south and roughly 25 miles (40km) from east to west. A private or rented car is the easiest way to get around (car rental companies on the island include Hertz and Enterprise). However, there is also a train line running from Llanfairpwllgwyngyll to Holy...
- The Menai Suspension Bridge. It’s unlikely you'll miss this Anglesey highlight, the Menai Suspension Bridge. You're highly likely to drive across it. Built by Thomas Telford and opened in 1826, it’s the first modern suspension bridge in the world and it connects the mainland to Menai Town - one of the five towns in Anglesey.
- Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path. There are countless places worth visiting along the 140 mile/225km Anglesey Coast Path. It goes right round the island. The Friends of the Isle of Anglesey Coast Path website has handy maps and detailed descriptions of the path's 12 sections.
- Llanddwyn Island. This romantic outcrop extending from the mainland is one of the most picturesque locations in Wales. The ruined church was once home to Saint Dwynwen - the Welsh patron saint of lovers from the 5th century A.D.
- The Copper Kingdom. There are surprises around every corner in Anglesey, with one being The Copper Kingdom in Amlwch. It was once the largest copper mine in the world.
- Visit Tŵr Mawr Lighthouse on Llanddwyn Island. Llanddwyn Island is one of the most beautiful places I visited during my visit to Anglesey, and it’s got some historical significance too which makes it even better.
- Spot Seabirds and Seals on Puffin Island. Whilst experienced kayakers can explore the island by kayak, for most people, it’s best to visit Puffin island onboard a Puffin island cruise.
- Walk Along the Anglesey Coastal Path. Of course, no visit to Anglesey would be complete without plenty of scenic walks along the Anglesey Coastal Path, now part of the Wales Coastal Path which runs around the entire coastline of Wales.
- See Eglwys Cwyfan, a.k.a the Little Church in the Sea. Eglwys Cwyfan, or St Cwyfan’s Church, is a small medieval church that sits on a tidal island. This was one of my favourite spots in Anglesey and is especially beautiful at sunset.
