Anglesey Yurts

Got a few days to spare? Spend them trotting along the round-island Anglesey Coastal Path, taking in archaeological and heritage sites along the way. Or skip the strolls and head straight for the 13th-century Beaumaris Castle (45 minutes’ drive) to climb the walls, or seek out ancient burial chambers like the Barclodiad y Gawres (half an hour) near the top-notch Traeth Llydan beach. Over in the north west, peer at the puffins – using the binoculars supplied – at the RSPB reserve in South Stack (half an hour), dropping by the Holyhead Maritime Museum (25 minutes) on your way home to learn about the island’s seafaring history. To poke into the past even more, go inland to the Amlwch Copper Kingdom – where locals mined copper for Nelson’s fleet – for walks with views out over a moonlike landscape in a rainbow of colours. If you’d rather angle than amble, sea and coarse fishing is also available on the island – ask on site for recommendations.
