Anglesey day 4 - A walk from Rhosneigr to Porth Trescastell

Anglesey Day 3 - Holyhead Mountain, Some Guillemots and some noisey jet planes.

Left Port Lynas behind and headed towards Holyhead Mountain (North and South Stacks). South Stacks is pretty amazing and although I am not much of a bird watcher even I could see how amazing it is for bird life. It was a bit like being in my own episode of Spring Watch. Look closely at you will see some Guillemots. Later, some slightly different flying machines. And killer bird attack! No idea what bird this is but it was very insistant on trying to land on me and eventually succeded.

Anglesey day 2 - coast walks

Whilst the rest of the UK apparently underwent a heat wave, up here it was overcast all day. Perfect for walking along the coast but not so good for photographs.

Anyhow, Walk 1 was from the camp site at Point Lynas along the cliffs to Amlwch Port and then back along the country lanes.

Walk 2, took me in the opposite direction from Point Lynas and then up the (big) hill with some great views of the route of the earlier walk. The White building in the picture was an old Telegraph Station that used optical semaphore signals to relay messages from Holyhead to Liverpool to inform shipowners of the safe return of their vessels.

Porth Eilean & Point Lynas

Sunday evening I was camped up close to a lovely little bay of Port Eilean. A stroll to the nearby lighthouse on Point Lynas rewarded me with sightings of Porpoise in the sea.

Anglesey Day 1 (sunday)

This is my first time visiting Anglesey, and what a great place it is. Full of little coves and cliff walks. There is lots of history to the place.


There are 2 bridges across the Menai Strait. The one below was built by Thomas Telford in 1826 and is still in use today.

Benllech Beach. Sunday beach lovers.
