Walking
Anglesey is a walker's heaven of 260 square miles of rolling hills, wildflower meadows and well-protected historical sites. One of the best places to walk is Parys Mountain Copper Mines. These mostly abandoned copper mines were made using gunpowder and pickaxe mining and have created an incredible landscape that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi film. If you are looking for a coastal walk, an excellent coastal path begins at Cemaes and follows the coast all the way to Porth Wen Brickworks. This abandoned brickworks is like a ghost town now, but amazing fun for adventurers, young and old. Complete the circle from here by heading inland and back towards Cemaes. These are just two of the many different routes to explore in Anglesey. It is an island full of history and beauty. You can book your last-minute walking holiday for you and your family now using our simple booking system. And if you need any help, we have a market-leading customer service team to help you find that perfect cottage.
