Worth seeing
St. Cybi Church and Roman Fort: Holyhead's heart revolves around St. Cybi Church, which is uniquely situated within one of Europe's few Roman forts enclosed by three walls. The fourth wall was the sea itself, serving as a road to the fort during Roman times. The area has seen habitation dating back to prehistoric times, with traces of prehistoric houses, burial chambers, and standing stones dotting the landscape.
Mount Holyhead: For those who seek adventure, a half-hour stroll from the new harbor leads to the foot of Mount Holyhead. At its summit stands the iconic watchtower, a Roman construction that offers breathtaking views of the surroundings.
Maritime Museum and South Stack Lighthouse: In Holyhead itself, the new harbor hosts the Maritime Museum, a place where you can delve into the history of around 100 shipwrecks discovered nearby. To the northwest of the harbor, the South Stack lighthouse graces the coastal cliff landscape, serving as a beacon for ships crossing the Irish Sea.
Coastal Exploration and Trearddur Bay: Heading south from the harbor, beyond the picturesque old harbor, you'll find a haven of shopping, fine restaurants, and the heart of Holyhead. Just 3 km south of the town's west coast, beautiful beaches and coastal trails await. Among these is the renowned Trearddur Bay, beloved by families and water sports enthusiasts alike. With sandy beaches and cliffs overlooking the Irish Sea, it's a true gem of the island.
Anglesey, with its historical tapestry and natural splendor, invites exploration and discovery at every turn. Whether tracing the steps of ancient settlements or basking in the glory of its coastal vistas, the island promises an unforgettable experience.
