About
About Anglesey
Anglesey ( ANG-gəl-see), or Ynys Môn, is an island off the north-west coast of Wales. It forms the majority of the county of the Isle of Anglesey, which also includes Holy Island to the west and some islets and skerries.
The Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) has one of the most distinctive, attractive and varied landscapes in the British Isles. Anglesey was designated as an AONB in 1966 in order to protect the aesthetic appeal and variety of the island's coastal landscape and habitats from inappropriate development. The AONB is predominantly a coastal designation, covering most of the island's 125-mile coastline (including Llanddwyn), it contains rocky headlands, golden beaches, dunes, heaths and fine green countryside.

The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Isle of Man Airport (IOM), about 89 km from the city centre in a straight line; Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL, 102 km) and Dublin Airport (DUB, 126 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
There are no scheduled flights toAnglesey Airport (VLY). However,Manchester Airport (MAN) andLiverpool Airport (LPL) are less than two hours drive from Anglesey. Holyhead's status as an international ferry terminal means it is served by direct trains to Chester and London. The main bridge crossing from mainland Wales is via the A55 with a smaller road crossing on the old A5 at Menai Bridge.
Getting around
The easiest way to get around the island. The A55 cuts straight across the island parallel to the old A5 route, providing a quick route to Holyhead ferry port. To see the island though, the A5025 taking you north round the island and the A4080 taking you south round the island are a better options.
