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.

We decided to have a Magical Mystery Tour of North Anglesey and we found the magic here! We were welcomed by Richard and had a personal tour of the Mill. His passion and knowledge shone threw and captivated the children (11,9,8,7) and adults alike. This place is such a gem and we will definitely return.. with a booking to the tea rooms which look out of this world!

A well-preserved ancient tomb.
An enigmatic and unique round barrow that is fully accessible. Access to the site is via a delightful walkway adjacent to a brook which helps build up the experience of the site. Whilst there is signage on the site, it is well worth reading up on the history prior to your visit. Despite our visit being undertaken during the winter, this did not take away from the atmosphere and sense of wonderment. Car parking is available at a layby opposite the entrance to the walkway, or by a small free nearby car park. Within the free car park, is a monument which is well worth a look as it contains recommendations of other nearby sites of interest. A must see visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around this remarkable building with a fascinating history. It’s been a goal, held prisoners of war and been police station. It’s history is explained on numerous information boards you read as you go around and questions are answered by friendly and well informed staff. Ask about the paranormal activity in the place if you want to make your tour around feel a bit more spooky! Their COVID precautions are good and everyone was observing them which was great. We we there for about 90 minutes but pretty much read everything! Recommend.

These combined visits were very interesting. Excellent and informative signage and posters etc. The limits of Covid meant no audio guides which I am sure would be very good for the future. The sight of the original treadmills is unique - a very atmospheric experience

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.

Well preserved Neolithic burial chamber, only about 50m from the road, just round the corner from Din Lliwig. Well worth the effort to visit.

Really interesting visit. The church and Abbey ruin are super. We walked from the car park to the end of the road - about a mile. The view coming to the end was terrific of Puffin island and the lighthouse. The shingle beach was great and our dog loved it. Nice cafe well worth a visit - real sun spot.
