Campsites

The Anglesey Coastal Path

This is undeniably one of the island’s most popular attractions. The 125-mile path follows much of Anglesey’s coastline and offers something for everyone. It has rare rock types, different bird species, and a big collection of ancient sites. If you love to walk, try out one of its excellent trails and see how far you can go. There are specific trails which cater to cyclists and horse riders.

Plas Newydd

Enjoying a beautiful location amidst breathtaking scenery, this medieval house is an interesting mix of gothic and classical. It was built in the eighteenth century by James Wyatt and refurbished in the 1930s. It houses an exhibition by Rex Whistler as well as his largest painting. It is also home to an Australian arboretum and a military museum.

South Stack Lighthouse

This area is popular with nature lovers and bird watchers. It has a visitor center that offers telescopes and binoculars to people who want to watch birds. If you love birds, look for a campsite near the cliffs as more than 4,000 seabirds make the area their home in summer. The South Stack Lighthouse sits on a small island nearby. It was built in 1809 and offers access to the island through 400 rock-cut steps.

Llanddwyn Island

Believed to be one of Wales’ most picturesque locations, Llanddwyn Island is truly gorgeous. It has beautiful, inviting waters that are perfect for swimming and makes a lovely picnic spot in good weather. It is home to a church that once housed the Welsh patron saint of lovers, Saint Dwynwen.

Island Towns

Holyhead, Anglesey’s largest town draws many people every day. Some come to board the ferry to Ireland while others come to relax. If you’re staying at a campsite in Holyhead, be sure to check out the things that make it famous. Board one of the ferries at the ferry port and visit the Irish town of Dublin. Or stay in town and visit the Breakwater Country Park, the Holyhead Maritime Museum, or the Holyhead Marina. The park is one of the town’s most outstanding features and is home to seals which visit the coast from time to time. Holyhead is also home to a remarkable Roman fort which houses a medieval church.

Llangefni

This town is most famous for its bi-weekly markets which are held on Thursdays and Saturdays. River Cefni flows through it from its source, the Cefni reservoir. The reservoir and its surrounding area is a designated nature reserve. Its north shore has an artificial plantation of trees. Llangefni is home to the Dingle Nature Reserve, a wooded valley filled with beautiful wildlife like wild ducks, kingfishers, yellowhammers, moorhens, woodpeckers, blue tits, and treecreepers.

Beaumaris

Beaumaris town was a famous ‘watering place’ during the Victorian times. It has a beautiful pier which reaches out into the Menai Strait and a moated castle which is a designated World Heritage Site.

Amlwch

Home to a former copper-exporting harbour, Amlwch is a town history buffs will love. It was once home to the planet’s largest copper mine.
