Beaumaris - Penmon
Follow in the footsteps of King Edward I and embark on your walk like a true member of the royal family at Beaumaris Castle. This incredible 13th century masterpiece is renowned for its impressive, revolutionary architecture. Discover beautiful views of the Menai Strait across the castle and begin your walk up to Penmon Point. Heading north along the Anglesey Coast Path will warrant you beautiful sights of the Carneddau Mountains (also awarded ultimate walking status in North Wales). After travelling through some more pretty coastal countryside, you will reach the endearing village of Penmon where the cherished and monumental Trwyn Du Lighthouse stands, marking the entrance to the Menai Strait.
A boat trip over to the beautiful Puffin Island is also highly recommended from Beaumaris, whilst in the area. The uninhabited island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, offering spectacular scenery and is a real haven for nature lovers.

The Coastal Path skirts to within 50m of its 220m summit rather than including it, as it would form the natural end point for the walk. It can be easily climbed from the RSPB centre at South Stack with the entire walk taking no more than a few hours.
The view from the top allows you to survey the entire island, and would make a great prequel to walking the coastal path as you can see all that’s ahead.

Church Island and Causeway
Church Island is a small island in the Menai Strait on the shores of Anglesey to which it is attached by a short causeway that is reachable only on foot off the Belgian Promenade.
The whole 2.7 acres of the island is taken up with St Tysilio's church, constructed in the 15th century and the churchyard.
On top of the highest point of the small island is a memorial to the local men who died during the two World Wars. This is also the best place on the island from which to view the Menai Strait and the two bridges that cross it.

First there is the walk along the beach which is delightful with firm unadulterated sands making the walking easy. Next there is the fascinating exploration of Llanddwyn Island with the history of settlement and the natural wonders to be discovered both captivating ones attention. Finally there is the walk back on the forest trails which feels much more protective of the elements than the wild exposure of the sands and island though you are only a few steps away from the coast and the sea.
