You can enjoy hiking, cycling, bird watching, kayaking, windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, sailing, visiting castles and other historic buildings, visiting stunning gardens, taking boat trips, the list is endless! Much of the 125 miles of coastline has been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with breathtaking sandy beaches, of which 6 have Blue Flag status, tranquil hidden coves, towering cliffs, home to hundreds of nesting birds and tranquil green spaces interspersed with carpets of colourful flowers.

Anglesey is the perfect playground for watersports and walking the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path. There are over 100 different rock types on the island and a large collection of ancient sites, an archaeologists dream. It is no wonder that the whole of Anglesey has been declared a Global Geopark. Nature lovers enjoy spotting a variety of rare birds, while history buffs will be mesmerised by links with Oliver Cromwell and Charles Dickens. You can explore Anglesey’s largest fen, Cors Erddreiniog where you will find Fly Orchid, Carnivorous Sundew as well as butterflies, moths and dragonflies. The Llyn Cefni Reservoir is alive with the sounds of warblers, wren and kingfishers while the Newborough Forest and Warren dunes are home to butterwort, dwarf adder’s tongue and shore dock. The South Stack Lighthouse and cliffs, a bracing Anglesey outpost, is home to puffins, choughs, guillemots and razorbills.

You will cross the Menai Suspension Bridge which is two miles from Menai Lodge. It was built by Thomas Telford and opened in 1826. Prior to that cattle farmers would somehow persuade their herd to swim across the Menai Straits to market! On the shore of the Menai Strait, you will find the 18th century Plas Newydd House and Gardens. It is managed by the National Trust and houses a military museum, an Australian arboretum and a Rex Whistler painting exhibition from the 1930s.

Beaumaris Castle is also close to the cottage. It was the last castle built, though never completed, under Edward I in the 13th century. It is designated as a World Heritage Site.

Llanddwyn Island is one of the most picturesque locations in Wales. The ancient ruined church was once home to the Welsh patron saint of lovers, Saint Dwynwen from the 5th century AD. When Maelon, her true love was turned to ice, Dwynwen moved to Llanddwyn Island.
