Anglesey Coast Path

The Anglesey Coast Path is a 125 mile route around the spectacular coastline of Wales' largest offshore island. Virtually all of Anglesey's coastline falls within the Ynys Mon (Anglesey) Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the variety of scenery, flora and fauna is superb. We shall walk the route anticlock-wise and split it into two sections which will run consecutively. Guests can book either section in isolation, or walk the complete route in one holiday.

Anglesey Coast Path, South Section

6 days walking, based in Beaumaris

Our tour base

This first section of the Anglesey Coast Path is one of great contrasts. The high, exposed and wind-swept coast of Holyhead Island, is marked by dramatic limestone cliffs, whilst the lower-lying coast of 'mainland' Anglesey is characterised by long sandy beaches and extensive sand dune systems. In the south pasture and pockets of woodland dominate the landscape. Highlights of the tour include the panoramic views from the summit of Holyhead Mountain, the limestone sea arch at Bwa Gwyn, Aberffraw Bay, Llanddwyn Island, the wild flowers amongst the dunes of Newborough Warren Nature Reserve, and Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge.

Anglesey Coast Path, North Section

6 days walking, based in Holyhead

Our tour base

North east of Beaumaris the gentle scenery inland from the Menai Straits gives way to remote heather-clad cliffs interspersed with sandy coves and occasional isolated villages. The cliffs become increasingly high and rugged as the route works its way round to the west and the walking increasingly exhilarating. Highlights of this section include the attractive harbour at Moelfre, the dramatic headland of Point Lynas, the panoramic views from Llanlleiana Head (Wales' most northerly point), the massive sea arch at Ynys Fydlyn, and the view along the coast to Holyhead Bay from the high cliffs above Church Cove.
