Anglesey Coastal Path, Coastal hiking trail in Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom
The Anglesey Coastal Path circles the entire island and stretches for about 130 miles of walking trail. The route passes through varied terrain with sandy beaches, sheer limestone cliffs, rocky headlands, and open moorland overlooking the sea.
In the 1800s, ports along this coastline handled shipments of copper and clay products from inland mines and factories. This maritime trade shaped the settlements and economy of the region for generations.
Small settlements along the route maintain their connection to the sea through fishing traditions and local crafts. These communities preserve Welsh language and customs that shape daily life here.
Walking the entire route takes about 10 to 12 days, though numerous access points let you break it into shorter daily walks. Wear sturdy footwear and bring weather protection, as coastal conditions can be windy and changeable.
A section near South Stack Cliffs passes along vertical rock faces where puffins, guillemots, and razorbills nest in large colonies. This area offers some of Britain's best chances to watch seabirds in their natural breeding grounds.
