About the trail

Art of the Menai Bridge, found on the Isle of Anglesey Coast Path.Anglesey (Ynys Môn) lies off the coast of North Wales, separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait. The Isle of Anglesey Coast Path encircles this enchanting island, taking in sandy beaches, expansive dunes, rocky headlands and towering sea cliffs. The trail visits quaint fishing villages and bustling seaports, as well as numerous reminders of Anglesey's colourful history.

From spring to autumn the island is carpeted with flowers, while the cliffs, offshore islands and surrounding waters are home to a range of wildlife. The island's close proximity to the mainland means the mountains of Snowdonia and the hills of the Llyn Peninsula provide dramatic backdrops along this stretch of the Wales Coast Path.
