Anglesey Coastal Holiays
About Anglesey Coastal Holidays
Ideally situated just an hours drive away from Chester and less than two hours from the major conurbations of Liverpool and Manchester, Anglesey is to many people the dreamy island of choice with a very laid back atmosphere that encourages relaxation, this as very much an island of two halves. The south and west of Anglesey with prevailing on shore winds encouraging beach holidays revolving around sailing clubs and involving the ‘Cheshire Set’ as a fun and lively place to holiday, the famous Trearddur Bay yacht club being a great social centre for young and old alike.
Rhosneigr also has a very pretty feel to it with natural rock outcrops protecting the boat moorings and the fabulous beach that is very popular with families with small children and a great small boat launching beach very popular with anglers and speed boat / jet ski users alike.
Heading further east is Newborough sands and the beautiful Maltraeth estuary. This area has a breath taking beauty on a calm sunny day with a power and beauty all of its own when a storm is raging, the waves and natural drama on these storm beaches are spectacular. Heading up in a north easterly direction we leave the fabulous beaches of Abberffraws and the back drop of the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia and follow the rapids, back eddies and whirlpools that apotheosise the magic of the Menai Straits passing Caernarfon with its spectacular Edward 1st castle and very hospitable pubs! And onto Port Dinorwic Marina opposite the Plas Menai sailing school allowing both beginners and experts to gain both confidence and qualifications with expert tuition and practical guidance.
Before we enter the open sea we have the lovely town of Menai Bridge with its two bridges being the Thomas Telford Bridge and the Brunell Britannia Bridge.
Then to Beaumaris is to me the prettiest town on Anglesey with its fabulous Georgian architecture, great restaurants, The Bull Hotel and Neptune fish restaurant, a great town for walking and home to the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club, pretty gift shops, boutiques “Pretty Things” being a favourite! with its historical castle, Beaumaris really is a special place to visit.
Moving on from Beaumaris which is the coast of my dreams; As you exit the Menai Straits leaving Puffin Island at the mouth and the Great Orme and Llandudno to your right on looking left there is the beautiful beach of Red Warf Bay and beaches galore, Tryth Buchan, Lligwy, Molfre to name but a few before Dulas Peninsular sits out into the sea.
The Dulas Peninsular is the location of Anglesey Coastal Holiday cottages and houses that we let out for luxury self catering holidays and short breaks. We currently have six individually styled cottages occupying an elevated position at the head of the Dulas estuary with views of the coast and sandy Dulas estuary, looking south easterly from the cottages you can also see the open rolling farm land leading to the beautiful craggy out crops of Minedd Bodafon with spectacular coastal walks and views of virtually the whole of Anglesey and the Llyn peninsular. We hope you will enjoy exploring the coast and countryside and marvel at its natural beauty.
Travelling further west from Dulas is Point Lynas light house standing as an imposing tribute to the shipping and nautical heritage of the north Anglesey coast. Lying directly below the approach to Point Lynas Light House is Porth Eillian a fabulously pretty sandy beach great for launching boats and family beach fun.
Heading further west we have Amlwch Port, historically a particularly important copper mining area, this is the very port that supplied the copper plate that kept the weeds off Nelsons fleet at Trafalgar enabling him to out manoeuvre the French galleons and win the monumental battle. Amlwch and Amlwch Port are well worth a visit with a very interesting heritage centre with great fun pubs such as the Adelphi Vaults in Amlwch Port and The Mariner in Amlwch.
Moving further west again we have the beautiful bay of Porth Wen with the disused Silica Brick Works and Pepper Pot Kilns with a short walk you are in Camaes Bay, again a fabulous small harbour with sandy beach and friendly local people keeping this area an unspoilt and traditional seaside village, with Cemlyn Bay nature reserve and the quiet Church Bay and Bronwen beach a short distance from Holyhead town and ferry terminal to Ireland I am sure your stay with us at Anglesey Coastal Holidays will be as quiet or as busy as you choose but most of all we hope you enjoy your stay with us.
We look forward to you enjoying your future holidays us.
Yours sincerely
