Anglesey is an island off the northwest coast of Wales with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Fertile lands and strategic coastal position made it an early center for agriculture, livestock, and maritime trade. Celtic culture, Druidic sites, and later medieval towns leave a deep imprint, while standing stones, burial chambers, and ancient churches reveal layers of human life across the centuries.
The island’s landscapes are a blend of rugged coastline and serene countryside. The 125-mile coastal path winds past sandy beaches, cliffs, and dunes, with highlights like South Stack Lighthouse on the west coast and Llanddwyn Island at Newborough Forest. Historic Beaumaris Castle and Parys Mountain showcase cultural and industrial heritage, while nature reserves teem with seabirds, red squirrels, and marine mammals, giving a rich interplay of ecology and human history.
