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!
2. South Stack Cliffs RSPB Reserve

**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!

6. Holyhead mountain Hut Circles

Reviewed By Bobalobajob - St Ives, United Kingdom
Really fascinating site and pretty extensive, numerous unearthed stone circle huts placed out across the moors. Affords an extraordinary view across the bay. It would benefit from a few more boards with explanations, but this doesn't take anything away from this magical site There is parking nearby and it is not a long walk before you are in the thick of the site 3 minutes and you are at the first hut circle, its a gradual incline and is very well kept

The Ucheldre Centre is certainly well worth a visit - as a charitable organisation they provide excellent entertainment and a continuing change of workshops, cinema, theatre , live bands etc etc, The centre has a contiuing change of art exhibitions every month to six weeks , The shop is well stocked for its size and all the staff at the centre are very pleasant and accomodating - the centre is suitable for the disabled ! The centre employ people who have learning disabilities who really enjoy working there. The Ucheldre is at the Heart of the community and is a wonderful vehicle for people to express their talents - Some say the cafe is expensive but I find it is in line with everywhere else and the Ucheldre centre cafe gardens are so relaxing to sit in when the sun shines !!
