Top 10 Free Things to do in Anglesey, Wales

April 3, 2022 Alida England

Prehistoric stone markers and monuments dot the landscape of the Isle of Anglesey, serving as stately beacons to visitors. The beaches of Rhosneigr are great for surfing, fishing and diving. The dunes and pebbly shores of Broad Beach span from the village all the way to the Barclodiad y Gawres neolithinc burial chamber. Hauntingly beautiful Beaumaris Gaol will give you chills. Warm up with a pony petting session at Foel Farm Park.

So much to see- the wonderful endless sand dunes, the walk down the Estuary, the most amazing beach with stunning distant views of the the Carneddi Range. You can spend the day there, safely away from traffic, so safe for the kiddies and dogs, and away from the crowds. Peaceful and perfect

Penrhos Country Park

Reviewed By Jenniclair

Penrhos Nature Reserve is within walking distance of my home, so a regular destination for my family. My daughter has been visiting since she was in her pram and still loves to go. The red squirrels are always a highlight but even if we don't manage to see them, it's lovely to walk through the woods, spotting wild flowers, birds and insects. We regularly gather fallen leaves in autumn for crafts. Hide and seek is a must and if you are lucky, you may even find some painted rocks. A walk through the woods inevitably leads to the beach, where sandcastles can be built and messages written in the sand. This reserve is a wonderful oasis of tranquility, which has been enjoyed by generations of locals and by the many visitors who come to this area. Sadly, it is currently under threat of destruction by developers, who want to close most of it off to the locals in order to rip trees out and replace them with a holiday complex. The fact that it is home to so many protected species seems to be irrelevant. Shame on you, #Land and Lakes, #Bluestone Wales! If you have not yet visited Penrhos, I would urge you to do so, before the money-grabbers destroy it forever!

South Stack Cliffs RSPB Reserve

**Planned Disruption** JUNE 2019 major building work is now taking place at the Visitor Centre. Please email or call for more information. Overlooking the Irish Sea RSPB South Stack Cliffs is a heathland paradise waiting to be explored. Wind your way along the dramatic trails and take in the expansive views across Anglesey. There are great views of South Stack Lighthouse from Ellin's Tower. In spring and summer, marvel at the spectacular wildflower carpet covering the clifftops and seek out the rare spathulate fleawort, which grows nowhere else on earth! Carefully and quietly explore the edges of the heather and you might see lizards or even an adder. Visit Ellin's Tower for great views of the seabird city in spring and its puffins, guillemots and razorbills. Try to spot porpoise, dolphins and seals out to sea.

South Stack Cliffs RSPB Reserve is home to breathtaking views, plenty of seabirds (of course!) and South Stack Lighthouse itself. As you have to pay to go into the lighthouse we stuck to just exploring the cliffs and taking our turn at birdwatching. The highlight of our visit was definitely getting the chance to spot some puffins!
