Anglesey
  Share  
 
 
The Isle of Anglesey offers an impressive variety of landscapes and wildlife. The majority of the coastline has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); this landscape is one of the most important in Great Britain.

The Anglesey AONB is the largest in Wales, and is notable for its blend of landscapes, geology, culture and wildlife. Anglesey´s cliffs, quiet coves and wide open wetland areas make it a birdwatchers´ paradise. It is an important breeding ground for puffins, guillemots, razorbills, terns and cormorants and attracts species of wading birds and wild fowl.

Spring turns the Island into a giant rock garden and a simple stroll can reveal a wealth of beautiful flowers. There are several rare species such as the marsh gentian and the pale heath violet to be found, or you could catch a glimpse of the South Stack fleawort growing in its only known location in the world.

The Menai Strait, separating Anglesey from the mainland, hides rare forms of anemones and sponges, and a wide variety of fish such as bass, cod, whiting, tope and conger eels swim in its waters.

An extensive network of coastal and inland paths enable you to explore this wealth of differing countryside throughout the year.

From the heathland, dunes and rocky cliff tops of the coastal areas to the quiet unspoiled countryside, lakes and woodlands of the interior, there is always something to discover and savour.
