Walking Holidays & Outdoor Adventures on Ynys Môn (Isle of Anglesey)

Where Island Paths Circle Sea, Story, and Stillness

A coastal walking and adventure destination that feels both remote and rooted.

Anglesey is a place apart — not just an island, but a way of seeing. Off the northwest coast of Wales, this windswept isle offers space to breathe and a network of trails perfect for self-guided walking holidays and coastal exploration. Ancient churches, standing stones, and wildlife reserves line a 130-mile coastal walking route, weaving through landscapes that feel vast, intimate, and deeply Welsh.

This is walking and adventuring for reflection — for seabirds and salt air, tidal rhythms and time-worn ruins. The Anglesey Coastal Path wraps almost the entire island, linking beaches, estuaries, headlands, and woodlands — always within sight of the sea, and never far from the story of the land. Alongside the walking, Ynys Môn is also a playground for outdoor adventures including kayaking, sea swimming, sailing, and wildlife-spotting trips.

Where to Walk, Paddle, and Explore

Anglesey Coastal Path

Walk the full sweep of the island on this long-distance National Trail — 130 miles of cliffs, farmland, dune-backed bays, and historic harbours. From dramatic sea stacks to quiet coves, it’s a journey through both nature and heritage.

Newborough Forest & Llanddwyn Island

Follow sandy trails through pine forest and shifting dunes to reach Llanddwyn — a tidal island rich in Celtic legend, seabird life, and unbroken views across the Menai Strait to Snowdonia.

Holyhead Mountain & Breakwater Country Park

Climb to the highest point on Anglesey for sweeping views and maritime history. Paths lead past stone huts, watchtowers, and coastal heathland alive with wind and wildflowers.

Adventure Highlights

Ynys Môn invites you to walk slowly, stay curious, and move with the tides.
It’s a place where walking and outdoor adventures merge into something deeper — grounded, healing, and quietly unforgettable.
