Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the Snowdonia mountain range, making for the most stunning of sunrises. With its medieval castle (now a World Heritage site) dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol and courthouse, it is also known as a major centre for yachting. Beaumaris is rich in history and retains much of its medieval street pattern. It’s setting, diversity of architectural styles and periods, differing scale, open spaces, varying roofs and overall quality contribute greatly to the town’s character. There is a good selection of shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as fishing opportunities and boat trips in the town, plus a golf course nearby. Along the coast is a large bay called Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and at low tide, almost 25 square kilometres (10 sq. mi.) of sand is uncovered providing safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. Further afield is the port of Holyhead, which has regular ferry links to Dublin. Beaumaris is a good central base for touring Wales, in a beautiful location on the south coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, within easy reach of the spectacular mountains of Snowdonia.
Anglesey has a diverse range of habitats including cliffs, heaths, wetlands, dunes, and sand marshes supporting a rich variety of wildlife, and most of its coastline has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The RSPB manages several reserves on Anglesey including Valley Wetlands near Holyhead which holds one of the most important reedbeds in Wales as well as marshes and grasslands. Bitterns breed here and if you’re not lucky enough to spot one hidden in the vegetation then listen out for their booming calls in spring. The lakes are home to hundreds of wildfowl including shovelers, tufted ducks, and goldeneyes.
RSPB Cors Ddyga in the village of Gaerwen is another important wetland site that supports a large colony of lapwings and is one of the few places in Wales where it’s possible to see marsh harriers.
For seabirds, head to Cemlyn nature reserve on the wild north coast of the island, famous for its tern colony with hundreds of pairs of sandwich terns, and smaller numbers of Arctic and common terns. Puffins can also be found on the island; the best place to find them is at South Stacks Cliffs, also managed by the RSPB. Look out for choughs and peregrine falcons too.
As the name suggests puffins can also be found on Puffin Island off the eastern tip of Anglesey and which is also home to a large colony of cormorants. Seals, porpoises, and bottlenose dolphins can often be seen in the surrounding waters.
Llyn Alaw to the north of the island is a man-made reservoir which is 4.3 km long and has several walking trails by the water. It is an important destination for overwintering birds including whooper swans, wigeons, teals, tufted ducks, and pink-footed geese.
