View Cruise DealHolyhead, a vital maritime link between Wales and Ireland, offers more than just a transit point; it's a destination steeped in history, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. This port town on Anglesey, an island known for its ancient sites and rugged coastline, provides a wealth of experiences for visitors.
A visit to Holyhead would be incomplete without exploring South Stack Lighthouse. Perched dramatically on a small island off the northwest coast of Holyhead, the lighthouse is accessible via a descent of over 400 steps down the steep mainland cliffs. The journey to the lighthouse offers breathtaking views of the sea and the rugged coastline. Once there, visitors can tour the lighthouse and learn about its history and the mariners it has guided since its construction in the early 19th century. The surrounding area, part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs nature reserve, is a haven for birdwatchers, with puffins, razorbills, and guillemots among the species that can be seen.
Another must-visit site near Holyhead is the Breakwater Country Park. This park, located at the foot of Holyhead Mountain, offers a variety of walking trails with scenic views of the surrounding landscape and the Irish Sea. The park is situated around an old quarry, which provides a unique backdrop to the picturesque scenery. One of the trails leads to the summit of Holyhead Mountain, the highest point on Anglesey, offering panoramic views that are truly spectacular. The park is also home to a diverse range of wildlife and plant species, making it a great spot for nature enthusiasts.
For those interested in the rich history of Anglesey, a trip to the ancient settlement of Caer y Twr is highly recommended. This Iron Age hillfort, located atop Holyhead Mountain, provides a glimpse into the distant past of the region. The remains of the fort's stone walls, though now mostly ruins, give an idea of the scale and significance of this settlement. The site also offers stunning views over Holyhead and the coast. Nearby is the site of Ty Mawr Hut Circles, an ancient village believed to date back to the Roman period, adding to the historical intrigue of the area.
