Anglesey AONB

Anglesey's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty covers much of this stunning Welsh island, offering some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in North Wales. The AONB protects 221 square kilometres of diverse landscapes, from dramatic cliff-top paths and secluded coves to ancient woodlands and traditional farmland.

This designation makes Anglesey perfect for families who love the outdoors and couples seeking scenic walks. The Anglesey Coastal Path, which runs for 140 miles around the island's perimeter, passes through much of the AONB. You'll discover everything from the towering sea stacks at South Stack to the peaceful beaches near Benllech.

The area is ideal for wildlife watching, with grey seals, dolphins, and diverse birdlife regularly spotted along the coast. Heritage sites like ancient burial chambers and traditional Welsh villages add cultural depth to your exploration.

As the AONB encompasses public land and coastal paths, access is free year-round. However, some specific sites within it may have entry fees or restricted access.

Staying at nearby Anglesey Sea Breeze Park puts you right in the heart of this protected landscape. You can easily explore different sections of coastline each day, returning to your comfortable base after adventures along some of Wales' most beautiful shores.
