There are only two roads up to the island, and both are bridges: the Britannia Bridge and the striking Menai Suspension Bridge. The beaches are picturesque, with many of them on the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, a 125-mile walking route. It makes for a great walking holiday, full of fantastic sights and breathtaking panoramic views of the Irish Sea. The Coastal Path itself forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which means it is designated for conservation due to its stunning beauty. The road and its corresponding AONB give visitors a The landscape is breathtakingly diverse, including salt marshes, cliffs, woodlands, farmland, coastal heather, and of course, dunes.

The island is also great for all kinds of sports, with some fantastic cycling trails for you to enjoy. Lon Las Copr is a 36-mile circular journey to the landscape of Mount Parys and Llynnon Mill's only working windmill, Wales. Go clockwise if you don't like hiking uphill!
