Places to Visit
Whatever your interest, Anglesey offers and abundance of places you may wish to visit during your stay here at Bodowyr.
We are situated on the west coast of Anglesey, North Wales within a short distance of the island’s main attractions yet close enough for those who wish to wander a little further to the mainland towards Snowdonia, and Caernarfon.
Anglesey has an abundance of activities to offer whether it’s family fun, a visit to nearby museums, heritage sites or a day out to the beach, you are sure to find something to keep you entertained during your stay. Most of Anglesey’s coastline is designated as an E.S.A. (Environmentally Sensitive Area) making it a hotspot for wildlife and bird watching.
Here are some useful links of things to do and places you may wish to visit during your stay. A good selection of information leaflets are also available on site.

The path is well signposted throughout with most walkers aiming to complete the loop in 7-10 days.
