I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy two wonderful weeks in Anglesey in the space of a month. This time it was with Ash’s family. I thought I’d share a few of my favourite places and things we did with some photographs from my week away.
Rhoscolyn Beach
This gorgeous, hidden treasure is a stunning sandy bay. I’ve never ever felt confident enough to swim in the sea before without a buoyancy aid but the bay was so calm and shallow it was perfect.
South Stack Lighthouse
For the first time ever I saw puffins here! And razorbills. We climbed over 1,000 steps to and from the lighthouse and went right up to the top, inside of the light.
Newborough Beach
It was a windy, murky day but that didn’t stop our fun. We played football as we walked along and spotted a seal with two pups from the island!
Plas Newydd
Ash and I have recently become National Trust members and we were excited to visit Plas Newydd as our first stop. The house is gorgeous and has a story very close to home as the family who own it used to live at Beaudersert in Staffordshire, which is now a Scout Camp. There is a large wall painting in one room which has Mow Cop castle painted into it. My parents lived near to Mow Cop and I can see the castle from my town.
Ah these photos make me happy, I love to spend time by the sea. And seeing puffins too is fab, they are beautiful birds.

We had National Trust membership for a year and it was wonderful! So many houses and gardens to visit… Also, PUFFINS! They’re so great!

Ah thats great to hear, thank you. We’ve been a bit rubbish and not been anywhere else with it yet! Need to start using it more.

Oh it all looks beautiful. I’ve not been to Anglesey for years but it does hold a special place in my heart. I think it’s something to do with the wildness and the sheer natural beauty

I completely agree! Especially as there’s hardly any main roads, love all the tiny country lanes, feels so remote.

Love the photos! Puffins are amazing, would really like to see one. We love our N|T membership, it’s the perfect excuse to get out and you save so much on car parking alone!
