Introduction to the Anglesey coast

Breakwater Country Park, Holyhead

The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path passes through some of the island’s most interesting and varied landscape.

The natural landscape value of the coast has earned it the designation of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).  AONBs are internationally important landscape designations, comparable in natural beauty to Britain's national parks. The AONB was designated to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the island, in particular its landscape, geology, wildlife and archaeology. For more information on the AONB please see the Isle of Anglesey County Council website - Isle of Anglesey county Council - AONB
