Prehistoric stone markers and monuments dot the landscape of the Isle of Anglesey, serving as stately beacons to visitors. The beaches of Rhosneigr are great for surfing, fishing and diving. The dunes and pebbly shores of Broad Beach span from the village all the way to the Barclodiad y Gawres neolithinc burial chamber. Hauntingly beautiful Beaumaris Gaol will give you chills. Warm up with a pony petting session at Foel Farm Park.

This is an island but accessible on foot except for high tides. There are great views and a number of historical sites on the island. There are lots of little coves along the shores of the island, for a swim or a paddle. The nearest car park is the beach car-park at Newborough Warren, there are trails through the pine woods on the dunes or you can walk along the beach. Perfect for a day out with a picnic.

Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens have undergone a spectacular transformation and are being restored to their former glory. First laid out in 1804 in the 'picturesque' style of Humphrey Repton, the famous Victorian landscape designer, the gardens had become derelict by 1996. There are 10 acres of gardens, included a 2 acre Walled Garden, fantastic valley gardens packed with unusual and interesting plants, flowering shrubs and trees; river and waterfalls. Home made cakes are served in the traditional Tea Room. Visitor Centre describing the history and restoration of the gardens. In 2017 open 12noon-5pm on Weds/Thurs/Suns in April; Tues/Weds/Thurs/Suns May-Sep; Weds/Thurs/Suns in October. Pre-booked private group tours by appointment.
Can't believe this has only been open to the public for 10 years. Stunning gardens with a huge variety of plants and areas from lovely borders to stunning waterfalls. Lovely visitor centre and tea rooms with tasty home made cakes.

**Planned Disruption** JUNE 2019 major building work is now taking place at the Visitor Centre. Please email or call for more information. Overlooking the Irish Sea RSPB South Stack Cliffs is a heathland paradise waiting to be explored. Wind your way along the dramatic trails and take in the expansive views across Anglesey. There are great views of South Stack Lighthouse from Ellin's Tower. In spring and summer, marvel at the spectacular wildflower carpet covering the clifftops and seek out the rare spathulate fleawort, which grows nowhere else on earth! Carefully and quietly explore the edges of the heather and you might see lizards or even an adder. Visit Ellin's Tower for great views of the seabird city in spring and its puffins, guillemots and razorbills. Try to spot porpoise, dolphins and seals out to sea.
South Stack Cliffs RSPB Reserve is home to breathtaking views, plenty of seabirds (of course!) and South Stack Lighthouse itself. As you have to pay to go into the lighthouse we stuck to just exploring the cliffs and taking our turn at birdwatching. The highlight of our visit was definitely getting the chance to spot some puffins!

Home of the Marquess of Anglesey, with spectacular views of Snowdonia.Set on the shores of the Menai Strait amidst breathtakingly beautiful scenery, this elegant house was redesigned by James Wyatt in the 18th century. The 1930s restyled interior is famous for its Rex Whistler association, containing his largest painting and exhibition.A military museum contains relics from the 1st Marquess of Anglesey's tenure, who commanded the cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo.There's a fine spring garden and Australasian arboretum, with an understorey of shrubs and wild flowers, a summer terrace, and massed hydrangeas which give autumn colour. A woodland walk gives access to a marine path beside the Menai Strait. Due to an ongoing reservicing project in the house, some rooms or areas may be closed. Opening and tour arrangements may vary.
This is a really excellent all round visit: beautiful spacious grounds with vistas of the Menai Strait, Snowdon etc & even red squirrels (my only regret is their moving too swiftly for me to get a photograph). Hats off to their inside work, keeping much open despite the huge scale renovations & managing to tell the tale of the house & explain about the ongoing work. I appreciated the video of the Marguess of Anglesey talking about Beaudesert a great deal. Staff in House, Cafe & Shop were top class.
