Anglesey is a beautiful island with beaches, lighthouses, forests, wildlife (puffins, seals, porpoises (small dolphins)) and a lot of history dating back to prehistoric times. More recent history includes the Druids and their defence of Anglesey against the invading Romans in the year 60 AD.
There is lots to do while on holiday in Anglesey, and if that wasn’t enough, just across the Menai Straits – (one of the most difficult stretches of water in the UK to navigate in a boat) you will find Snowdonia with it’s own weather climate.
You could be enjoying a sunny day at our museum on Anglesey, enjoying a snack from our cafe while taking in panoramic views of Snowdonia, and you will often see Snowdon with its peak covered in cloud, or even snow! It’s just a 25 minute drive to Llanberis which is found at the foot of Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales.
