Port Chippy

Highlight • Restaurant

Fish was a bit small but very tasty. 😋

Tip by

341 m

This beautiful port is attached to the larger town of Amlwch and is rather picturesque. Once a thriving commercial hub for the copper industry, today you'll see colourful fishing boats and leisure yachts moored up against its walls. You can explore the port on foot easily from Amlwch and it lies on the Anglesey Coast Path.

Amlwch Harbour

Highlight • Settlement

Amlwch is situated on the north eastern corner of Anglesey. A small town with a long history of working traditions, it offers visitors a wide range of activities. A favourite walk is along the coast from Point Lynas to Amlwch Port where copper was exported all over the world. Visitors can also explore the industrial workings of Parys Mountain itself or visit the local railway museum. Amlwch Industrial Heritage Trust can be contacted on +44 1407 832277 for more information.

Fishing and golf are popular pastimes across Anglesey and visitors to Amlwch do not have to travel far to play golf at the Bull Bay golf club or fish at various locations. Amlwch has a range of local bars and shops and hosts a local market every Friday.

Amlwch is some fifteen miles from Holyhead and the same distance from Llangefni. Both these towns are well worth a visit to those with a historical interest and people wanting to flavour the atmosphere of a real Welsh town.

Point Lynas Lighthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

Point Lynas Lighthouse stands tall on a picturesque headland. A pilot station was built at the location in 1766 to guide ships from Liverpool and the present structure was built in 1835. From this spot, you are afforded lovely views out to the Irish Sea and over the coastline.

Porth Eilian Beach

Highlight • Beach

This is a lovely secluded beach on the north-east tip of Anglesey. I walked my bike down onto the pebbles and sat and watched the calm water. It's a popular place for sea kayakers, but there were only a few people there even though it was the height of summer. The beach is a good spot for wildlife watching. If you're lucky, you might catch glimpses of harbour porpoises or dolphins.

There are toilets here (very useful as they are few and far between on Anglesey). You can also walk up to the lighthouse.
