Covering 276 square miles, Anglesey is England’s and Wales’s largest island and a very popular destination with people returning year after year. The miles of gorgeous coastline, hidden beaches, lovely countryside and a plethora of ancient sites are an irresistible draw. Anglesey can often cast a spell on you, and you don’t have to venture far from the bridge to find a unique stretch of coastline filled with sites of historical or scientific interest. The bridge was once a strategic link between London, Holyhead and Ireland. The Strait was carved during the ice age about 20,000 years ago. It sits on a major fault line and is still the most seismically active place in Wales.

The coastal path around the island passes through farmland, coastal heath, dunes, salt marsh, foreshore, cliffs and small wooded areas, enjoy wonderful seascapes and discover amazing bird life, wildflowers and marine life. If you want something wilder, the Anglesey Sea Zoo is home to octopus, lobsters, seahorses, conger eels and catsharks plus lots of family friendly activities such as crazy golf and a pirate’s playground.

Anglesey boasts a rich historical heritage, with ancient sites and medieval castles awaiting exploration. Marvel at the mystical ruins of Beaumaris Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or venture to the prehistoric burial mound of Bryn Celli Ddu to unlock secrets from the island's past. Indulge in Anglesey's renowned culinary delights, including freshly caught seafood, locally sourced produce, and delightful artisanal treats. Experience the warmth of local hospitality in charming coastal villages and towns, where traditional pubs and cosy cafes welcome you with open arms.

Action lovers will be drawn by one of the many annual sporting events hosted on the island.
