Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Menai Strait with its medieval castle dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol & courthouse. It is also a major centre for yachting and also boasts two golf courses within one mile of the town.
Anglesey is steeped in a rich archaeological and historical heritage. It is unparalleled in its diversity of wildlife habitats from the great sea cliffs, estuaries, lagoons and dunes on the coast to the lakes, wetlands, heaths and richly mosaiced farmland of the interior.
Favourite attractions are its beaches, from the unspoilt and extensive sands at Llanddwyn Bay to the busier seafront at Benllech or the quiet and picturesque Cemaes Bay. During your visit discover Anglesey's culinary diversity with the help of our Taste of Anglesey food trail guide offering mouth watering dishes all using local produce. Anglesey is known locally as Môn Mam Cymru the Mother of Wales, a reference to the historical role of the island as the bread-basket of Wales.
Accommodation choice is just as varied. Choose from farmhouse, where you will sample the delights of traditional home cooking, or guest house, where you are sure of the best hospitality and information on local events, or hotels and country-house hotels with all their added luxuries. If you prefer a self catering holiday, there are plenty of cottages, static caravan parks and campsites.
