More About Lodges on Anglesey

Din Lligwy, a Romano-British hut village of stone huts and walls, stands in the fields a short walk from the sea. Red Wharf Bay empties to a vast sweep of sand at low tide.

Moelfre keeps its lifeboat station and a row of fishermen's houses above a shingle cove, and Beaumaris and its castle sit at the southern end of the coast.

A lodge in Wales usually means forestry — a cabin set in a plantation with conifers on every side. Anglesey does not work like that. This is a low, open, farmed island: the highest ground on the main island is Bodafon, barely 178 metres, and the interior is gently undulating farmland rather than hill and wood. The official landscape survey notes, of Holy Island, that the fir trees which do grow there take on a windblown form.

So shelter here was never a question of trees. It was built by hand. The field boundaries are cloddiau — banks of earth and rubble faced with stone, with a hedge run along the top — and together with the stone walls and the old field pattern they are, in the words of the island’s own landscape plan, an integral part of what Anglesey looks like. The same banks are built out on the Llŷn and down in Pembrokeshire.

What woodland there is was mostly put there deliberately. Several of the island’s estates keep significant broadleaved woods — Baron Hill, Bodior, Dulas and Penrhos among them — and the grandest of those landscapes was designed rather than grown: Humphry Repton was commissioned in 1799 to remake the parkland at Plas Newydd House, and produced one of his Red Books for it. It remains the only Grade I registered park and garden on the island.

So a lodge here faces the sea rather than the trees. What it looks out on is sea and farmland instead of a wall of conifers, which means light and a long view instead of shelter.

Rhoscolyn, over on Holy Island, shows what that is worth. The beach at Silver Bay took a Green Coast Award in 2026 — the only place on Anglesey recognised in that year’s Welsh coast awards.

The wildlife makes up for the missing woodland. Cemlyn, on the north coast, holds the only Sandwich tern colony in Wales, somewhere between fifteen hundred and two thousand pairs, wardened right through the summer and at its best from May to July. Roseate terns nested there in 2025 for the first time in three decades. Over on the east coast above Moelfre, Capel Lligwy stands free to walk into, a roofless twelfth-century chapel in Cadw's care beside the Romano-British huts at Din Lligwy.
