Anglesey - known of old as ’’Mon Mam Cymru" ‘’Anglesey Mother of Wales’’ because of its fertile land which provided much of the grain for Wales, Anglesey is a real Treasure Island. Fields grazed by sheep roll down to a coastline that is varied and exciting. You will find long sandy beaches, little rocky coves, dramatic cliff top footpaths, favourite fishing spots, great sailing and windsurfing coasts and some extraordinary bird sanctuaries.

Many fascinating pre-historic sites, Druid burial chambers, hut circles and standing stones can be seen on the island, and there are interesting towns and villages to visit where the history of the island can be uncovered. Visit the Castle and the grim old Gaol in Beaumaris, the Seawatch Centre in Moelfre, the Llywelyn Coastal Heritage Centre at Aberffraw, and the changing exhibitions at Oriel YnysMon in Llangefni and the Ucheldre Centre in Holyhead. No visit to Anglesey is complete without a trip to the railway station that will tie your tongue in knots at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogo-
gogoch.

Families with children will find that rainy days need not be dull days as there are many local attractions to visit, the Sea Zoo, Foel Farm, Bird World, Pili Palas Butterflies, The Model Village, Museum of Childhood to name but a few, and there are several indoor swimming pools and leisure centres around the island. 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.
