Holidays on Anglesey
Anglesey, the largest island in England and Wales, is a real treasure island. You will find long sandy beaches, little rocky coves, dramatic cliff top footpaths, favourite fishing spots, great sailing and windsurfing and a host of delicious local produce.
Joined to the mainland by two monumental bridges, the island is known
as "Mon Mam Cymru" (Anglesey Mother of Wales) because of its fertile
land which provided much of the grain for Wales.
With a range of different habitats, the island is teeming with birds, plants and other wildlife. At the two RSPB reserves on the island, visitors can watch, amongst others, puffins and choughs at the South Stack Cliffs or grebes and goldeneyes at the Valley Wetlands. The Anglesey red squirrel population is now the largest in Wales, and the island is home to a variety of orchids - best seen in late Spring on the dunes in Newborough Forest.
The island has a greater concentration of prehistoric sites than anywhere else in Wales, including Druid burial chambers, hut circles and standing stones and there are interesting towns and villages to visit where the history of the island can be uncovered.
Highlights for visitors include the lovely Georgian town of Beaumaris, where you can visit the castle and the old gaol, the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path helping walkers to explore the Island's hidden coves and sandy beaches, and Oriel Mon where you can learn about the history of the Island and view an ever-changing programme of art exhibitions.
Everybody who visits Anglesey has a favourite beach, a well loved walk or some special corner that calls them back, and once you have been you will long to return.

Family Attractions
On the Water
Anglesey is a superb spot for watersports, including surfing, diving, fishing, coasteering, sailing and of course swimming. Diving is particularly popular given the vast number of shipwrecks around the coast, which make for superb diving territory. There are also four sailing and yacht clubs on the island.
Land-based Activities
Anglesey’s rolling landscape, green pastures, rocks and lakes provide the perfect backdrop for a wide range of activities.
