Places to Visit

North Wales is packed with places of interest to visit - there really is something for everyone.

There are many ancient Celtic monuments throughout Anglesey and fine castles and stately homes on Anglesey – the castle in Beaumaris and the grand home of the marques of Anglesey - Plas Newydd. Penrhyn Castle in Llandygai outside Bangor, another castle in nearby Caernarfon where the Prince of Wales was crowned and Conwy Castle further up the A55.

For the active, Anglesey can provide horse riding, golf, rock climbing, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, and many more outdoor activities.

For a really full day out, take a trip from Holyhead to Dublin by ferry and claim your duty free ration!
Children are well catered for too with several country parks and adventure playgrounds which cater for the needs of the young.

Anglesey has many fine restaurants and pubs which cater for all tastes. But if seafood is your favourite, then visit the Lobster Pot, an internationally renowned seafood restaurant in nearby Church Bay. Most places cater for children.
