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!

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!

**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!

THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED NOW UNTIL EASTER 2020 The museum is a fascinating experience for the whole family. Step back in time at the oldest lifeboat station in Wales (circa. 1858), Which houses a wonderful collection of exhibits telling the enthralling maritime history of Holyhead. Situated alongside the Maritime Museum, in a Second World War Air Raid Shelter, is the very informative permanent exhibition "Holyhead at War".
A visit to the Maritime Museum should not be missed. I was very lucky to be given a tour by the guide Mr Edwyn Hughes who explained to me in detail the evolution of lifeboats, the historic background and the causes that led to the unfortunate sinking of so many ships. Mr Hughes also talked about the old port and the shipyard in Holyhead. I was amazed by his profound knowledge of Holyhead’s maritime history supported by numerous names and dates. The museum was small but rich in content, nice lay out and beautiful views to the Breakwater and the Port. The staff at the museum we’re all very kind and welcoming. I am looking forward to another visit in the near future. Thank you

Located in Holyhead, Anglesey, the Empire Cinema is owned and run by Holyhead Town Council. Recently refurbished, it shows all the latest films in a new, modern, comfortable environment.
We recently booked tickets to go and watch the new mama mia here we go again film and much to our delight found that the seats were some of the most comfortable and roomy in a cinema that I have ever sat in. The seats were so situated that no one had a problem seeing the screen as they hadn't over crammed them in like the modern multi screens do. It made us feel valued and the staff were very pleasant too. I would recommend to anyone to go here, if they are showing a film your interested in as we will regularly check what's on and return ourselves at the earliest possible opportunity.
