Waterloo Cavalry Museum

Small scale warfare gets proper attention at this specialist military museum just outside Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. The collection centres on cavalry equipment and memorabilia from the Battle of Waterloo, with particular focus on the Welsh regiments that fought alongside Wellington. You'll find authentic sabres, uniforms, and horse tack displayed alongside detailed battlefield maps.

History enthusiasts will appreciate the depth of research here, though families might find it a bit niche for younger children. The exhibits explain cavalry tactics and the crucial role mounted troops played in Napoleon's final defeat. Military buffs could easily spend two hours examining the weapons and reading the campaign accounts.

Location-wise, it's convenient for anyone staying at the numerous caravan parks dotted around this part of Anglesey. Plas Coch Holiday Park sits less than a mile away, making it an easy morning trip before heading to the coast. The museum works well as a rainy day alternative when beach plans fall through, particularly if you're combining it with other Anglesey attractions. Given its proximity to several camping sites including Ael y Garnedd and Podiau Môn, it slots nicely into a longer exploration of the island's quieter corners.
