Anglesey Essentials

Anglesey’s landscape is defined by its maritime and industrial heritage. This selection includes Thomas Telford’s 19th-century Menai Suspension Bridge and the reconstructed Britannia Bridge. Visitors can explore the 18th-century Parys Mountain copper mines, the Victorian-era Beaumaris Gaol, and Melin Llynon, the only working windmill in Wales. The island’s coastline features the tidal Ynys Llanddwyn, home to the Tŵr Mawr lighthouse, the medieval Eglwys Cwyfan—often called the "Church in the Sea"—and the marine conservation efforts at the Anglesey Sea Zoo.
