Newborough Beach is vast expanse of sand from Llanddwyn Island down to the start of the Menai Strait.
Dare I say it has the most stunning scenery on Anglesey, backed by Newborough pine forest and vast sandy dunes of Newborough Warren. To the east are the mountains of Snowdonia, South the rolling Llyn Peninsula hills. Last but far from least, west is the tranquil and beautiful Llandwyn Island.

Trearddur bay beach has to be one of Anglesey’s top beaches, a classic family beach - a long oval shaped beach with soft golden sand with a very gentle slope toward the sea, situated on the western coast of Anglesey.
The beach benefits from the sun from early morning to early evening in the Summer. In the far corner of the beach there is the RNLI station. There is also a lovely promenade with beautiful views towards the sea.
This beach has been awarded the blue flag for water cleanliness and facilities.

Borthwen is a pretty, sandy crescent located on the southern shore of Holyhead island. Backed by sand dunes there are also a few little rocky islets along the length of the beach.
This is a great family beach with its shallow sloping sands and abundance of rockpools. There are also a few basic amenities such as toilets and showers.
The beach at Borthwen is reached by a very narrow lane and there is a small (free) car park by the beach.

Magnificent medieval fortress still towers over town after 700 years
Thanks to restored spiral staircases in its great towers you can walk a complete circuit around the battlements of Conwy Castle. We highly recommend it. This is one of the most magnificent medieval fortresses in Europe.
In the distance rise the craggy mountains of Snowdonia and spread out below you are the harbour and narrow streets of Conwy – still protected by an unbroken 1,400-yard (1.3km) ring of town walls.
It’s enough to take the breath away. Especially when you consider that King Edward I and his architect Master James of St George built both castle and walls in a barely believable four years between 1283 and 1287.
Conwy takes its place alongside Edward’s other great castles at Beaumaris, Harlech and Caernarfon as a World Heritage Site.
This famous fortress is exceptionally well preserved. It contains the most intact set of medieval royal apartments in Wales. The high curtain wall and eight lofty towers rise almost as impressively as when they were built more than 700 years ago.
So don’t be afraid to climb those staircases, if you can, for the full Conwy experience. There isn’t a better place in Britain to stand on the battlements and dream.

St David's church and the friary complex have all been awarded grade II* listed status.[3] The friary is now a large Franciscan Retreat Centre, and the friars have returned to live in Denbigh House, their original home at Pantasaph. On the wooded hill behind the complex a 19th-century zig-zag path links landscaped Stations of the Cross leading to a large Calvary group on the hilltop.
Unfortunately the Retreat Centre closed in December 2017.
The Friary gardens house the National Padre Pio Centre.

St Paul’s lies at the cross roads at the centre of the village of Gorsedd which together with the adjoining village of Carmel make up the parish of Gorsedd.
The parish was created from parts of Whitford and Ysceifiog parishes in 1853 when the church was built in somewhat unusual circumstances. Louisa, great grand-daughter of Thomas Pennant of Downing Hall married Rudolph the son of the 7th Earl of Denbigh and as a gesture of thanks-giving they endowed the building of an Anglican Church in the nearby village of Pantasaph. However, during a visit to Rome they converted to Roman Catholicism and thus the church when completed would be to serve that faith. The ensuing conflict stoked, not least by the then Bishop of St Asaph, resulted in a national appeal to build an Anglican church in the vicinity. The appeal raised some £10,806, enough to build two churches one at Gorsedd and the other at Brynford.
The church remains much as it was in the Victorian era, except, perhaps for the east window – ‘Christ in Majesty’ installed in 1991 followed a little later by windows depicting ‘the shipwreck of Paul’ and ‘Suffer little children’.
