The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Anglesey, Wales
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.

Penrhos Nature Reserve is within walking distance of my home, so a regular destination for my family. My daughter has been visiting since she was in her pram and still loves to go. The red squirrels are always a highlight but even if we don't manage to see them, it's lovely to walk through the woods, spotting wild flowers, birds and insects. We regularly gather fallen leaves in autumn for crafts. Hide and seek is a must and if you are lucky, you may even find some painted rocks. A walk through the woods inevitably leads to the beach, where sandcastles can be built and messages written in the sand. This reserve is a wonderful oasis of tranquility, which has been enjoyed by generations of locals and by the many visitors who come to this area. Sadly, it is currently under threat of destruction by developers, who want to close most of it off to the locals in order to rip trees out and replace them with a holiday complex. The fact that it is home to so many protected species seems to be irrelevant. Shame on you, #Land and Lakes, #Bluestone Wales! If you have not yet visited Penrhos, I would urge you to do so, before the money-grabbers destroy it forever!

Overall Ratings

**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!

Having break in Angelsey and looked for something to entertain our 2 year old grandson. Found reviews of Foel Farm on tripadvisor and thought we would give it a go. It was a great decision the Farm was stocked with well cared for animals, we could feed them and especially enjoyed the rabbit barn. Tractor and quad trailer rides were also excellent. The staff were great and the CoVid regs were very well implemented. There were loads of wash stations with low level sinks for toddlers. If it wasn’t 3 hours away from home we would be regulars. Had lunch in cafe that was nice too.....really enjoyed thanks Foel Farm
