Key Walk Features

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 Coast Path Client Reviews

4.8/5 based on 67 reviews

Rated 5.0 out of 5

"Everything worked like clockwork while in Wales - every reservation and every taxi ride was on point with no glitches or mis-coordinations. Once you get your itinerary down with the team, all you need to do is show up, follow the daily directions for the beginning and end of the day, and let the holiday flow with your walking. I really enjoyed doing a circuit, starting and ending in the same place. It added a level of calm, completion, compactness and finiteness. Focussing the entire two weeks on a relatively small geographical area is very rewarding - getting to know one place."

"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."

Points of Interest

  • Wales Coast Path badge

    The Wales Coast Path

    The Anglesey Coastal Path forms part of the 870 miles of Wales open for discovery along the coast. You may want to consider extending your walk to the next section; starting at the beginning of The Llŷn Peninsula Coast Path or the preceding North Wales Coast Path.

    With over 95 % of the coast path falling with a protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Anglesey is ideal for walking pristine coastal scenery. Further information can be found on our dedicated page for walking the Wales Coast Path.

  • Beaumaris Castle, Anglesey Coastal Path Walking Holiday

    Beaumaris

    A charming seaside town complete with Victorian pier, made distinct by the last and largest of all castles to be built by King Edward I in his Welsh campaign. The pier is a fantastic vantage point for taking in the Menai Strait.

    Beaumaris is located on the east of the island, by the Menai Strait waterway separating Anglesey from the mainland. Beaumaris is included on all our Anglesey Coast Path itineraries.
