Angelsey is a fabulous place to come on holiday for those who enjoy walking or even fishing as well as anyone who wants a relaxing holiday. There are many different places to go and see, my favourite place to go must be Llanddwyn Island and the near by Newborough beach. It isn't really an Island as only about twice a year is it cut off from the shore. It is situated in between two gorgeous blue flagged beaches. The views are amazing from there and will truly take anyone's breath away. The best time to visit must be in the evening though having a picnic whilst watching the sunset.

Alaw lake in Llangefni both very popular with the locals and tourists as a perfect fishing spot.

On the Island however, I would say a visit to Llanfairpwll is a must. It has the second longest name in the world with its full name being, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllsantysilliogogogoch.

There are many quaint local shops to visit, as well as James Pringle Weavers which is the biggest souviner shop on the Island, selling clothes shoes food household items, and the regular tourist items like postcards and sticks of rock.

Also in Llanfairpwll is the best focal point of the whole island, the Marquis's column. For a small fee you can climb around a hundred steps to a scenic view over the Menai Straits encompassing the two bridges which join the island to the mainland.

The Island also has plenty of places of historical interest such as Beaumaris castle and Beaumaris Gaol which detail much of the history of the island.

Between Brynciencyn and Llanfairpwll is Plas Newydd. This is a National trust property which is where the Lord and Lady Anglesey. It is a fantastic place to visit with its tremendous buildings and extensive gardens.

The island is the ideal base to explore the Snowdonia mountain rage and the mainland.
