The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path is a magnificent 133 mile trail making a complete circuit of this captivating island. From the first steps across the iconic Menai Suspension Bridge to the wide views of the Snowdonia Mountains rising across the strait, the route delivers a remarkable coastal journey. Beginning in Bangor and looping anti-clockwise, the path reveals Anglesey in all its diversity, from sweeping sandy bays and rugged clifftops to peaceful estuaries and welcoming seaside villages.

The trail is defined by its ever-changing horizons. As you walk, dramatic headlands give way to broad beaches, sheltered coves, and tranquil tidal inlets. At every turn, the light shifts across the water and the tide moves, subtly changing the character of the landscape. It is a route that rewards the steady walker with a sense of constant discovery, where the scenery feels fresh with every mile.

This is a landscape shaped by the sea, where working harbours sit alongside quiet stretches of coastline. Wildlife is a consistent feature on Anglesey, with seabirds nesting on the rocky cliffs and seals often spotted in the quieter coves. Dolphins can be sighted too. The path winds its way through nature reserves, dunes, and heathland with maritime flowers, birdlife and butterflies in abundance.

Historic towns and villages punctuate the journey, offering a glimpse into the island’s past. From ancient churches and castle walls to the lighthouses guarding treacherous waters, Anglesey’s story unfolds gradually. Yet for all its history, there is a gentle way to life here – time to pause on a beach, enjoy fresh seafood in a harbour village, or simply watch the tide ebb and flow. The result is a walking holiday that feels invigorating, varied, and wonderfully complete.
