If you need a reason to visit or stay in Anglesey this year, there are many! Whether you wish to explore a new place or take in the beautiful views this area of North Wales brings, you won’t want to miss out on the opportunity of exploring this island.
Church Island
Situated in the Menai Strait, Church Island can be reached by walking a circular route in Menai Bridge, where you can capture the amazing views of the Menai Suspension Bridge. On route, you can also pass through Coed Cyrnol, a woodland area filled with wildlife and wild birds. As Spring is approaching, look out for Primrose plants en route.
Puffin Island Boat Trips
Not for those who get seasick, but you may want to take the opportunity to ride the waves on the Puffin Island Wildlife Cruise. On route, you may even be lucky enough to catch the sight of seabirds, seals and even dolphins.
Llanddwyn Bay
Perfect on a sunny day, Llanddwyn Bay has been referred to as one of the finest beaches in Great Britain. You can explore the beach through an array of footpaths, filled with sand dunes and outstanding views of Snowdonia National Park.
Plas Newydd
Explore a glorious mansion, lovely gardens and outstanding views of Snowdonia at Plas Newydd. With over 40 acres of garden grounds, explore the array of plants, and flowers while taking in the great views of Snowdonia’s mountains. Don’t forget to try spotting the red squirrels – there are 100s of them lurking in the woodland!
Stay for a bite to eat at the cafe, whether that’s a light lunch or a sweet treat. You can sit back, relax and take in the beautiful views of Anglesey.
Holy Island
Holy Island is a lighthouse that sits on the West Coast of Anglesey. Take in the surrounding sea views. The lighthouse is open for the public to visit, but a 400 step trip down is required to reach the bottom. Here, you can access the lighthouse by crossing the suspension bridge.
