What to do and see in Anglesey, Wales: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

May 11, 2022 Moriah Teneyck

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.

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!

Holyhead mountain Hut Circles

Reviewed By Bobalobajob - St Ives, United Kingdom

Really fascinating site and pretty extensive, numerous unearthed stone circle huts placed out across the moors. Affords an extraordinary view across the bay. It would benefit from a few more boards with explanations, but this doesn't take anything away from this magical site There is parking nearby and it is not a long walk before you are in the thick of the site 3 minutes and you are at the first hut circle, its a gradual incline and is very well kept

What a wonderful find! So glad we made the effort to get here - quite a challenge when there are very few road signs in the back lanes! The location of sea beside freshwater lagoon makes it very special, and the backdrop of rolling farmland made a marvellous subject for a painting.

Great place to walk and wander and discover, there are trails to follow though if go off track you won't get lost. The colours are magnificent especially if caught with a blue sky and beaming sun.
