What could you do on our visit to Anglesey? Well, there are 125 miles of coast line!

Anglesey’s Porth Dafarch was voted one of “The Best 40 British Beaches” and Lligwy as one of the “10 Best Picnic Spots by the Sea”.

Beaumaris Castle; the great unfinished masterpiece, built by the English monarch Edward I in 1295. Such an impressive landmark in Anglesey deserves not to be missed.

Or perhaps you could take time out to marvel at the artwork of C. F. Tunnicliffe and Sir Kyffin Williams as Anglesey galleries proudly display some of their finest.

You can also visit the town of Beaumaris, which is charming with an individual array of shops. Nature lovers can wander around The Dingle Local Nature Reserve, which is bursting with wildlife in 25 acres of a wooded valley or South Stacks Cliff Nature Reserve with a seascape view from the cliffs.

PlasCadnant Hidden Gardens offers a stunning garden, woodland walks, waterfalls and a homely tea room which you may like to visit.

What better way to enjoy the beach than on a horse? Anglesey Riding Centre gets great feedback and give the opportunity to learn about horse ownership and ride across the centre’s own tracks as well as rides across the coastline.

There are also many peaceful spots for shore fishing on many of the beaches across Anglesey. It’s hard to find an excuse not to stroll along these beaches. It doesn’t stop there; find out more about what’s on in Anglesey here.

We will be providing guided walks on 3 of the days and depending upon the walks we choose you many need to use your own cars to get to the start of these.
