The Anglesey Coastal Path Walk
On an island steeped in Welsh heritage, taking in the landscape a step at a time with walking holidays in Anglesey is the best way to experience the regions singular and diverse landscape. This is very much the heartland of the Welsh language (often considered Europe’s oldest living language), and on the island you'll find Welsh in wide, everyday use.
A collage of pinks, lavender and blues of coastal flowers are typical of spring in Anglesey, with bright yellow gorse offset against the deepest blues of the Irish Sea. The wild and undisturbed natural landscape is a fantastic home for porpoises and seals, and further out towards the horizon, you can spot Gannets diving into the waves.
Walking the Anglesey Coast Path
The southern coast is made up of limestone escarpments, rolling woodlands, sand dunes, little coves and the mysterious lovers’ island – Llanddwyn. From the island’s many traeths (beaches) you have stunning views over to Snowdonia and the Llyn Peninsula.
The northern side of the Anglesey Coast Path perfectly illustrates the diverse landscape of the island. The expansive sea cliffs of North and South Stack extend their reach from the coast to the famous lighthouse, tucked into the rocks. In clear conditions you can spot The Wicklow Mountains, across the Irish Sea. Today, it is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
Before you leave, don't miss your chance to tackle more syllables than most can manage, by visiting the famous train station.

Path Walkthrough
Walkers can expect a mixture of terrain underfoot, from sand, heather, pebble shores, forest track and country lanes as the route briefly turns inland. Clifftop walks, long strolls beside rugged beaches, with the coasts rocky outcrops and shingle paths carved out from the wild surge of the neighbouring Atlantic. You'll even encounter stepping stones as you make progress along one of the routes flatter sections - walking along the shores of the Menai Straits.
The walk itself is well-signposted, with the distinctive blue tern way-markers guiding the way throughout the coast. Although a lot of the route is fairly manageable, the sections along the cliffs is where walkers will meet the greatest elevations en-route, particularly the section from Holyhead to Trearddur, with elevations of over 600m.

We have used Celtic Trails several times now and find excellent service. Our annual week's walking holiday is always a fell-good fun week with friends.
Mo Marriott - September 2021
I have walked with Celtic Trails before and think the service is superior to other companies I've used. Any future walking holiday will be with Celtic Trails.
Anon - September 2021
Most enjoyed the rugged coastal scenery during the latter part of the holiday. Celtic Trails didn't involve the glitches I've experienced with other companies. Preparation of tour documents is very thorough.
Anon - July 2021
Great to get out in the beautiful scenery and fresh air - sense of achievement when finished. Skin feels good, suntanned, relaxed and more toned. Well fed!
Anon - July 2021
Professional, friendly service. Stress free. No complaints. Better than other companies used, based on the standard of accommodation. Walking always has a beneficial impact on our mental health, that's why we have been doing it for the past 30 years. Really enjoyed the scenery and terrain. Path extremely well waymarked.
P. Massey - June 2021
I haven't used a company before but I would recommend Celtic Trails - all worked extremely well. No problems at all with accommodation or transfers. Highly recommend. I was so grateful to have been able to complete the route in such difficult times. Most enjoyable experience. I enjoyed the varied and dramatic coastline.
Thomas McC - October 2020
Celtic Trails were convenient. The scenery was fabulous.
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.
Jon - September 2020
Have walked with other companies, but Celtic Trails have the edge due to the personal attention - we felt valued.
Sinclair & Ezard - September 2019
Good accommodation and all arrangements smooth. Would prefer A5 notes.
Anon - September 2019
Nicky's 8th walk with Celtic Trails and Sue's 4th - speaks for itself. Very helpful and have never let us down.
Nicky & Sue - September 2019
Celtic Trails are better than other companies - well organised. Thank you for organising this holiday - we enjoyed it.
Anon. - September 2019
It was seamless - Celtic Trails were really efficient, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. This holiday was hugely helpful for our well being / health.

K. Cox - September 2019
Great assistance ...Excellent ...Loved the proximity to the ocean. Wonderful wildflowers and variety of seabirds. Good accommodation and we found nearby restaurants with good food.
Anon. - July 2019
What isn't to like about Celtic Trails? We have only ever used them for a service like this. The coastal rural scenery on this route appealed and proved to be vast and spectacular,
Anon - July 2019
Celtic Trails provided an excellent service;l they have never let us down.
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.
P.B. - October 2018
The luggage transfers worked out perfectly - we found "Annie", our taxi driver, to be super. We appreciated the friendliness, kindness and help of everyone.
Anon. - October 2018
All my luggage and personal transfers were carries out as arranged. I most enjoyed the dramatic landscapes.
B & T - July 2018
We really appreciated the solid work you did to provide us with a detailed itinerary, maps and guides. We were well prepared, thank to you. Great job! We heard about you through an article in the New York Times and we would hire you again. The coastal walks along the ocean were breath-taking!
Phillips & Rosenbaum - July 2018
"We really appreciated the solid work you did to provide is with a detailed itinerary, maps and guides. We were well prepared, thanks to you. Great job!"
Phillips & Rosenbaum - July 2018
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.
B.M. - June 2018
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.
Anon. - April 2018
