Located in the northernmost part of Wales, the Isle of Anglesey is best known for the unpronounceable name of its cities.
Yes yes!! you can take the train to the station of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
After spending hours trying to pronounce this name, if you have the time and the energy, you can visit the island by car and walk along its coast classified as “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ‘’.
Why go there?
- For the beauty of the landscape. On one side of the island rises Mount Snowdon with the Irish Sea at its foot;
- For hikes with breathtaking views;
- To observe the fauna and flora.
What to do ?
If you are a little crazy like us, you can go for a hike around Mount Twr. We did this on a windy and cold day of November. For this, park your car at the country park of Holyhead (GPS address: Breakwater Country Park, Holyhead, LL65 1YG). Parking around £5 for the day. The walk is circular, beginning anti-clockwise and lasting about 4 hours (for the small circuit). The path is well marked. For more information and a detailed map have a look here.
If you want a beautiful view on Mount Snowdon, make a stop at Plas Newydd.
Where to eat?
The Marram Grass Cafe, Newborough
This restaurant was recommended to us by our Airbnb Host Margaret. It is now our turn now to recommend it. What to say? The excellent food for a correct price and the friendliness of the waiters exceed all expectations.
The only advice we can give is go and test it. Don’t forget to book in advance because obviously like any good restaurant is always packed, even off-season.
Have you been to Anglesey or Wales?
Situé dans la partie la plus au nord du Pays de Galles, l’île d’Anglesey est surtout connu pour le nom de ses villes imprononçable.
Oui oui vous pourrez prendre le train à la station de Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
Après avoir passé des heures à essayer de prononcer ce nom vous pourrez s’il vous reste assez de temps et d’énergie visiter l’île en voiture et vous promener le long de ses côtes classés « Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty »
Pourquoi y aller?
-Pour la beauté du paysage. D’un coté de l’île s’élève le mont Snowdon avec à ses pieds la mer d’Irlande.
-Pour des randonnées avec des vues à couper le souffle
-Pour observer la faune et la flore
Que faire ?
Si vous êtes un peu fou comme nous, vous pouvez aller faire une randonnée autour du Mont Twr par une journée venteuse et glaciale du mois de novembre.
Pour cela, garer votre voiture au country park de Holyhead (GPS adresse : Breakwater Country Park, Holyhead, LL65 1YG). Le parking est payant environ £5 pour la journée. La balade est circulaire, commence dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre et dure environ 4h (pour le petit circuit). Le chemin est assez bien indiqué.

Si vous souhaitez avoir une magnifique vue sur le Mont Snowdon, aller faire un tour à Plas Newydd.
Où manger?
The Marram Grass Café, Newborough (http://www.themarramgrass.com)
Ce restaurant nous fut recommandé par notre hôte AirBnb Margaret. A notre tour maintenant d’en faire des éloges. Que dire: La nourriture est excellente pour des prix tout à fait correct et une gentillesse des serveurs qui dépasse toute attente.
Le seul conseil que nous pouvons faire est d’aller le tester et surtout de ne pas oublier de réserver en avance car bien évidemment comme tous les bon restaurants il est toujours bondé même hors saison.
