Begin at Red Wharf Bay, birthplace of the world-famous Land Rover. It was here in 1947 that engineer Maurice Wilks first sketched out his concept for the iconic off-roader, using the beach’s soft golden sand as a drawing board. Later, the prototype for this four-wheeled workhorse was put through its paces among Red Wharf Bay’s rolling dunes, before going on to become one of history’s most recognisable and long-lived vehicles.

If you want to find out more about Anglesey’s Land Rover associations, pay a visit to Tacla Taid Transport and Agriculture Museum, near Newborough on the other side of the island.

Follow the A5025/B5109 through Beaumaris and onward by the B and minor road to Penmon at Anglesey’s eastern extreme. Here you’ll find the holy St Seiriol’s Well, a short distance from the 13th-century ruins of Penmon Priory.

Named after the priory’s founder, one of the most notable of Wales’s early Christian saints, the well is actually a freshwater spring that emerges from the rocky cliffs. It’s thought to date back to the 6th century, though the small stone cell in which it sits is more recent. Reputed to have healing properties, the well was often used for baptisms and drew pilgrims from far and wide.

Then return to Beaumaris for lunch.

After lunch, indulge in some retail therapy at Soulful Living Lifestyle. This unique boutique is packed with quirky clothing, one-of-a-kind curios and handmade jewellery from across the globe. Treat yourself or pick up some surprising gifts for friends and family.

Things are a little less bright and colourful at Beaumaris Gaol, where you can experience what life was like under lock and key in Victorian times. Largely unchanged since it closed in 1878, its dimly lit corridors and cramped cells cast an eerie spell. There’s also an audio tour (told from the perspective of Richard Rogers, the last prisoner to be hanged here) that fills you in on the gaol’s long and sometimes grisly history.
