Walking the Anglesey Coastal Path
A walking holiday on the Anglesey Coastal Path is a journey through landscapes of extraordinary variety. More than 95% of the path lies within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, taking in sweeping bays, woodland, saltmarsh, farmland and soaring sea cliffs. Along the way you can explore lively villages, remote coves and landmarks such as Beaumaris Castle, Llanddwyn Island, South Stack Lighthouse and the Menai Suspension Bridge.
Anglesey is also rich in history and culture, with medieval castles, ancient associations with the Druids and thriving Welsh-speaking communities. Wildlife is another highlight, with regular sightings of porpoises, seals and seabirds including puffins, gannets and choughs. With Celtic Trails taking care of the arrangements, your Anglesey walk is a seamless experience, combining comfort with the freedom to discover this remarkable island at your own pace.
Path Walkthrough
Your walk begins in Bangor, crossing onto the island before following the shoreline to Beaumaris and its imposing Edward I castle. From here the path traces the eastern coast through quiet villages and the golden sands of Red Wharf Bay, then turns north past Moelfre with its strong seafaring heritage.
The route continues to Point Lynas and the atmospheric ruins of Porth Wen brickworks before reaching Cemaes and the wide sweep of Church Bay. The western coastline features dramatic sea cliffs and the famous South Stack Lighthouse near Holyhead, followed by sandy bays and nature reserves around Rhosneigr and Aberffraw.
The final stages cross estuaries and saltmarsh, passing the sacred headland of Llanddwyn Island, before curving along the Menai Strait to finish at Menai Bridge where Telford’s elegant suspension bridge provides a fitting conclusion to the walk.
A Walk Through History, Nature and Legend
Anglesey is an island with deep layers of myth and heritage. Known as Môn Mam Cymru or Mother of Wales, it was once the stronghold of the Druids and remains a centre of Welsh culture. The coastal path highlights this legacy with sites such as Beaumaris Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the romantic ruins of Porth Wen’s Victorian industry and Llanddwyn Island, linked with the story of St Dwynwen, Wales’ patron saint of love.
Seasonal highlights include carpets of wildflowers in spring, seabird colonies in summer and vast open beaches throughout the year. Walking the Anglesey Coastal Path is both a scenic adventure and a cultural experience, immersing you in a landscape where language, history and tradition are very much alive.

Anglesey Coastal Path Client Reviews
4.8/5 based on 65 reviews
Friendly, trustworthy, cooperative. All our questions were answered before we went on our holiday. During our holiday we have recommended Celtic Trails to people we met, and also to Dutch friends. Besides, we met Kate in Trearddur Bay, where she stayed in the same hotel as we did. This confirmed our impression that Celtic Trails really wants to know how the accommodations are.

Professional, friendly service. Stress free. No complaints. Better than other companies used, based on the standard of accommodation.

Anon - September 2020
Really well organised, lots of attention to detail and respond quickly to enquiries. We felt safe and well looked after on our trip. Mental and physical well-being improved greatly. Considering another walking holiday for sure … possibly Guernsey Coastal path. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed new and dramatic scenery each day. Following the route was stress free as signs were frequent.

Have walked with other companies, but Celtic Trails have the edge due to the personal attention - we felt valued.

P. Selby - June 2019
I really enjoyed my walk with Celtic Trails. Their staff is extremely helpful and responded thoroughly to all my questions, such that as a solo traveller, I felt comfortable doing the walk on my own. All the lodging was comfortable and run by friendly, attentive and helpful owners. The transfers went seamlessly and that walking was awesome.
M. Araneuren - June 2019
Excellent.
Anon. - May 2019
Heart stopping views. Friendly people. The path is so well defined, hardly need maps, except for personal interest. Met very few other walkers. Saw seals and dolphins.
D. Ryan - May 2019
We experiences a well-organised walking holiday, with lovely and diverse scenery. The whole experience was very relaxing. It did me the world of good. We were in need of fresh air, exercise and some peace, all of which we got. We live in Switzerland and enjoy beautiful scenery at home. However, we do not have a shore line and the scenery we enjoyed on the walking holiday made a very pleasant change.
D. Bradley - May 2019
I have walked with you before, having heard about you from my neighbour. You met my expectations again. What I most enjoyed about this walk was the scenery and meeting new people.
Fox - December 2018
You gave me what I wanted at short notice and fitted my dates.

Dear Nathan & Jo, Thank you so much for co-ordinating our lovely trek from Beaumaris to Cemaes Bay. We are very thankful for the beautiful scenery and people we met along the way. The mapping and trail markings were excellent, we stayed in quality accommodations, the roman ruins in Moelfre were both historical and unique and we met some of the friendliest hosts. Thanks again; we look forward to the prospect of a future booking with you. Cheers.

We most enjoyed being able to switch off - there was nothing for us to do but enjoy the walk. We had no worries about arrangements, simply the pleasure of the walk.
