The prehistoric and Roman history surrounding Holyhead makes it a superb location for some interesting walks. A challenging but equally rewarding walk is the trek to the South Stack Lighthouse; the lighthouse is open to the public and offers incredible views from the top of the lighthouse and fascinating history in the engine room and exhibition areas. Holyhead Mountain is also close by, offering a fantastic walk and a great spot for birdwatchers with an RSPB Reserve nearby.

Anglesey Airport is just a short train journey from the station at the heart of Holyhead. Visitors to Anglesey can fly in from Ireland, Cardiff and the Isle of Man. Alternatively, enjoy a day trip to these destinations. It is also close to the 18-hole Anglesey Golf Club, making it an ideal holiday location for golf enthusiasts.

For something completely different, why not hop on the ferry to Dublin? There’s an incredible amount of culture to explore and shop there, along with some of the best nightlife in the UK.
