• Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path the Isle of Anglesey • Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path is a developing long distance route that follows much of the island’s coastline. The path primarily caters for walkers however cyclists and horse riders can also enjoy certain sections. The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path falls within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) which covers 95% of the coast. It passes through landscape that includes a mixture of farmland, coastal heath, dunes, salt-marsh, foreshore, cliffs and a few small pockets of woodland. This includes a National Nature Reserve. Length: 125 miles / 200km The highlights are perhaps, Holyhead Mountain (highest point on the island), South Stack lighthouse and sea cliffs, Bwa Gwyn sea arches at Rhoscolyn, Ynys y Fydlyn at Carmel Head, and Porth Wen, Llanddwyn island, Cemlyn Nature Reserve and Penmon Point and Priory. • Amlwch Copper Kingdom Amlwch was once deemed by a local 18th century cartographer and customs official to be undeserving of being included on a map of sheltering ports for ships and sailors, since it was a "mere cove between two rocks". Copper was needed everywhere as the industrial revolution was underway, coins were being minted, and Nelson wanted copper sheathing for his ships. As many as 40 copper cargos and in-bound tobacco leaf ships could be anchored at Amlwch, and such was the congestion that an act of Parliament was passed to enlarge Amlwch’s access and berth capacity. The “mere cove between two rocks” was now on every nautical map. The source of copper was Parys Mountain, where some 1500 men and women were employed in hazardous conditions.

A Celtic nation steeped in history, proud of its culture, renowned for its scenic beauty and blessed with some of the best golf in the British Isles. Few can rival the spectacular setting of the 18 hole championship course at Bull Bay, laid out above the rugged coastline on the beautiful holiday island of Anglesey, with panoramic views of the mountains of Snowdonia and over the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man and the distant hills of the Lake District. • Holyhead Maritime Museum • Ask the local divers and they will tell you about the wealth of marine life to be found around the island. It is one of the UK’s favourite diving destinations. They will tell you of the fascinating wrecks, now supporting that marine life. Unfortunately, many souls perished on the North Wales coast, and in the maritime museum you will be introduced to the tales of those who survived, and those who didn’t. • Many survivors will have owed their lives to the lifeboat stalwarts. The museum once housed the oldest lifeboat station in Wales, founded by the independent Anglesey Lifesaving Association. There is, within the museum, a great collection of Holyhead lifeboat models from 1857-1928, and you might wonder how on earth they fared against the Irish Sea. • During World War II, Holyhead Harbour was also a target for the German Luftwaffe. As enemy bombers headed for Liverpool and Lancashire, some of the homeward bound planes would target the British Navy and Royal Dutch Navy shipping vessels taking shelter on Anglesey. As part of the museum's complex there is a permanent exhibition "Holyhead at War" housed in a Second World War air raid shelter situated alongside the maritime museum. Beach Road Holyhead LL65 1ES Tel: +44 (0)1407 769745 • Breakwater Park Holyhead Created in an old quarry at the base of Holyhead Mountain, the Breakwater Country Park provides an excellent centre for coastal walks. From here it is possible to walk along the Holyhead Breakwater, (which is the longest in the UK with a length of 1¾ miles). There is a popular circular path around scenic 'Rocky Coast'; and also trails which lead to the summit of Holyhead Mountain, and along the coast to breathtaking North Stack. (The start of the trail to North Stack is marked by a memorial to several American servicemen who lost their lives in a nearby aeroplane crash in 1944. The memorial features the remains of a propeller blade from the original aircraft). Details of the paths can be found at the Park Centre, which incorporates a car park, shop, toilets and an information centre manned by a warden. During the summer months the Holyhead Model Boat Club sail on the pond in the park on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons, making a visit especially popular with children. Also, during the summer, the Holyhead Breakwater Railway Company run a Land Train service from Newry Beach in Holyhead, to both the Breakwater Country Park, and to the end of the Breakwater.

He served in the R.A.F in Anglesey as a meteorological officer for several years during the Second World War and, having graduated in geography at the then University College of Nottingham in 1941, developed a major interest in the geography of Anglesey. This became by far the main object of his research whilst on the staff of the geography department in the University of Nottingham from 1947 until his retirement in 1985. Mrs Barnes and his friend and fellow geographer Prof.E.M.Rawston hope that the copious files of his research may prove useful to students interested in the geography and history of Anglesey. Most of thefiles are based on Anglesey and Arfon - named Monarfon by Frank A.Barnes. Materialfrom this collection must be acknowledged to Frank ABarnes.

  • Inquiry Into Ports in Wales Introduction I Am Jim O
    Response to Welsh Affairs Committee- Inquiry into Ports in Wales Introduction I am Jim O’Toole, Managing Director of The Port of Mostyn Ltd in Flintshire. I am a Deputy Lieutenant to the Clwyd Lieutenancy and a past Chairman of the North Wales CBI which I represented on the North Wales Economic Forum. I am also a member of the Bank of England Advisory Panel for North Wales, and also represent Welsh ports and industrial interests on the Dee estuary relating to the Water Framework Directive. I have more than 50 years experience in the shipping and ports industries. Regulatory Regime Ports is a reserved matter and current U.K. policy is contained in the document “Modern Ports” – a U.K. Policy – Nov. 2000. The Welsh Assembly Government ‘s parallel policies on ports are contained mainly in two policy documents: “The Wales Freight Strategy” - May 2008 and “Wales Transport Strategy” - April 2008. Neither of the Welsh documents contain what could be regarded as firm policies for Welsh port development, indeed the Transport Strategy document makes no more than a passing reference to ports and sea transport. The Wales Freight Strategy document provides an overview of the Welsh ports sector and contains 10 policy statements. However, scrutiny of the policy statements shows they are little more than intentions to “continue to review” and to “continue to monitor” various strategies for potential port development. I am therefore not convinced that the Welsh Assembly Government fully appreciates the importance of ports to the Welsh economy, hence its lack of firm policies which the industry can rely upon when considering development plans.
