Welcome to the stunning Isle of Anglesey, located in Gwynedd, Wales. This picturesque island is a hidden gem within the United Kingdom and offers a wealth of natural beauty and historical wonders. One of the highlights of Anglesey is Beaumaris Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stands proudly in Beaumaris. This magnificent castle showcases the rich history of this region and transports visitors back in time to medieval Wales. For those seeking breathtaking views, Twr Mawr lighthouse on Llanddwyn Island is an absolute must-visit. The late evening light casts a magical glow over this iconic landmark, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Another notable lighthouse can be found at Penmon's Black Point - Trwyn Du Lighthouse. Its striking presence against the rugged coastline adds to Anglesey's charm and allure. Nature enthusiasts will be delighted by Holyhead Mountain's coastal habitat adorned with vibrant Common Heather flowers growing beside drystone walls. The sight is simply mesmerizing and showcases the island's diverse flora. South Stack Lighthouse on Holy Island also captivates visitors with its dramatic setting atop towering cliffs overlooking the Irish Sea. It serves as both a navigational aid for sailors and an awe-inspiring sight for tourists. Anglesey even had the privilege of hosting Norway's laminaria (Ascophyllum nodosum), which gracefully grows towards the surface in Aberffraw's clear shallow sea. This unique marine life adds another layer of wonder to this already captivating destination. To delve into Anglesey's past, explore an old map from 1611 by John Speed depicting this remarkable island during centuries gone by. It provides insight into how much has changed while preserving its timeless appeal. Lastly, if you find yourself visiting in August 2022, don't miss out on witnessing The Red Arrows display team flying in formation over Rhosneigr beach.
