The Isle of Anglesey is known as the Mother of Wales. With its rolling countryside, rich pastures and infinitely varied coastline it has historically been credited with the ability to feed the whole of Wales. If the past is your thing, we can travel through prehistory, visiting Iron Age and Celtic sites in an astonishing state of preservation to seeing a picture-perfect castle in its moat at Beaumaris.
The coastline offers many opportunities for a rich experience – from Penmon with its lighthouse and Puffin Island, an historic lifeboat at Moelfre, seeing the seabirds rolling in the wind at South Stack (and another lighthouse) and then on to a beach stretching as far as the eye can see …well until you reach the ruins of St Dwynwen’s – the patron saint of Welsh lovers – on an island accessible at low tide.
After a short stop to see the village with the longest name, you can see and then travel over the spectacular bridges linking the island to the mainland.
We can include visits to
- Menai and Britannia Bridge
- Beaumaris
- Penmon historic Priory, Well and Dovecote
- Penmon, Lighthouse and view of Puffin Island
- Din Lligwy Romano-celtic settlement
- Moelfre historic lifeboat
- South Stack, lighthouse and seabirds
- Llanddwyn, mystical island
- Bryn Celli Ddu

Touring Information

Beaumaris Castle
Beaumaris Castle was the final project in King Edward 1’s scheme of building impressive and inpenetrable fortresses along the Welsh coast to signal his domination of a conquered Wales. Beaumaris has a different plan to its peers, a concentric ring of outer and inner walls which are still in an excellent state of preservation. The castle was never completed to its original ambitious plan, not least because of the cost and his army’s successful subjugation of Wales.

Bryn Celli Ddu
Bryn Celli Ddu is a large mound containing a passage grave. It is, fascinatingly, two monuments, one built upon the other, tracing changes in belief during the Neolithic period. You can enter the chamber, and discover the secrets within, which include a stone decorated with mysterious spirals and patterns. The monument's alignment suggests that it may have been an observatory.

South Stack
South Stack is a memorable sight on the wild west coast of Anglesey. Four hundred steps lead down to a bridge over the island off an island off an island! As well as an iconic building in a glorious setting, the area is rich in bird life, marine flora and opportunities to see the changing seasons on land and sea. A flock of rare sheep are carefully harnessed to ensure the very best conditions on the steep pastures around the rocky headland.

Din Lligwy
Din Lligwy is a Romano-Celtic settlement hidden in the trees and a chance to travel back in time to the fourth century. The local Celts had clearly learned about building techniques from Roman occupying forces and the result is a fusion of Celtic roundhouses and rectangular buildings. The stonework was clearly of a very high standard and there is much to see and with a little imagination the lives of the original inhabitants can be imagined. Near to the site is a stone age burial site and the ruins of a tiny twelth century church. All stand in peaceful surroundings far from the busyness and bustle of today’s world.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the full name of the famous village with a tongue twisting name. A brief visit to pose in front of the station sign is a must, and practising pronouncing it is a challenge. In reality, the name is a nineteenth century marketing trick of combining and enhancing village names with a view to attracting vistors, and guess what? It still works!

Beaumaris
Beaumaris was created by the conquering English King Edward 1 when he moved to tighten his grip on North Wales by building a string of impenetrable fortresses at key strategic sites. The last of these was Beaumaris. Seven centuries later, in more peaceful times, we have a perfect castle, set in its moat, dominating its attractive town of well-preserved houses, hotels and shops.

Excellent Anglesey Tour! My wife and I had a private one-day tour of Anglesey with our guide. It was an awesome experience! Our experience was tailored to our interests (ancient history) and we got an excellent picture of the history of the island and Wales.
