Located just off the mainland’s northwest coast, the Welsh island of Anglesey delights with wonderful walking trails, great beaches, ancient castles, and an impressive coastline. It’s also one of the best places in Britain for birdwatching, with thousands of rare bird species flocking to its scenic shores every year. Holiday highlights include spending time on the picturesque Llanddwyn Island, and admiring the 19th century South Stack Lighthouse perched on its own tiny island off the far west coast.

Accommodation

A range of handpicked hotels...
The 3* historic Bulkeley Hotel is located in the heart of the picturesque castle town of Beaumaris. Just a short walk from the beach, the Bulkeley gives us the perfect, on the island, base for our holiday. Comfortable ensuite rooms, beautiful gardens and outdoor terrace, where we can relax after our days walks. This hotel is dog-friendly so you may meet four legged friends in some of the communal areas.

Walking grades

From September 2026, we have expanded our walking grade scale from 6 to 10 points. While the holidays themselves have not changed (the routes, daily distances and ascent levels remain the same), our newly expanded 1-10 scale offers greater distinction between holidays and clearer grade descriptions, so you can choose a holiday that best suits you.

Moderate walking grade 7

The most active moderate grade. Longer distances and short but steep ascents and descents possible throughout the day. Hill walking experience desirable. Typically, 11-12 miles (18-19km) with around 1,800ft (560m) of ascent.

Island Hopping

You're welcome to check in at the Bulkeley Hotel from 4pm. Our leader will meet the group in the hotel reception at 6:30pm and they'll provide a short introduction to the holiday before dinner. Days 2 to 7 are walking days. The walks are listed below in clockwise order around the coast of Anglesey, but won’t necessarily happen on the days shown. Changes will be made depending on tide times and weather conditions.

Distance: 10 miles (16km)

Ascent: 450 feet (140m)

A stunning walk exploring the south-east of Anglesey. Starting near Dwyran, we walk through Newborough Nature Reserve, past sand dunes and through the forest to the beach. This area is home to red squirrels, lizards and more, plus inspirational views across to Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula. A visit to Llanddwyn Island (tides permitting) before we end the day in Malltreath, having crossed the estuary on the cob.

Distance: 10 miles (16km)

Ascent: 1,200 feet (360m)

Starting where we finished at Cemaes, we head to the most northerly point in Wales today, then watch out for seals, porpoise and dolphins playing in the shelter of Bull Bay. On to Amlwch before we hop on our coach for a visit to the Mars-like landscapes of the Parys Mountain old copper mines.

Distance: 11 miles (18km)

Ascent: 1,400 feet (420m)

We start by going out to Llaneilian lighthouse and then make our way along the cliffs, before turning inland around Traeth Dulas estuary and then via beautiful Lligwy Bay to Moelre with its lifeboat station and visitor centre.

Distance: 10½ miles (16.5km)

Ascent: 900 ft (280m)

This leg takes us from above the wide expanse of Red Wharf Bay to Beaumaris Castle.  One section of the path is inland around Penmon Priory.  We have stunning views out over Snowdonia and also Puffin Island, together with a visit to Trwyn Du lighthouse.
