FULL ITINERARY
Day 1 – Arrival, Full Moon, Beach Walk & Moonlit Dip
Arrive in Aberffraw, settle into the house, and take a sunset stroll to the beach for a magical Sturgeon Moon swim (optional).Pizza night at the house - relaxed, cosy, and the perfect start.

Day 2 – Holyhead to Rhoscolyn - Distance: 26 km | Ascent/Descent: 410m / 410m

We begin the day at St Cybi’s Church in Holyhead - a beautiful Grade I-listed site steeped in early Welsh history. From here, the path leads us out toward the coast as the views slowly widen, the sea breeze picks up, and the drama of the northern cliffs unfolds in front of us.

Soon we’re looking down over the rugged coastline towards Holyhead Breakwater Country Park, an atmospheric landscape shaped by quarrying and sea weather. The trail climbs gradually toward Holyhead Mountain, the highest point on Anglesey, offering sweeping views across the island and out toward the Irish Sea.

From its summit, the descent brings us to the iconic silhouette of South Stack Lighthouse, perched on its rocky island and reached by the famous flight of steps. It’s one of Anglesey’s most spectacular viewpoints - a real highlight of the day.

From here, the coastline softens as we begin the long, beautiful journey toward Rhoscolyn. The path winds past coves, sea cliffs, ancient workings like the old gunpowder store, and finally down to the golden sands of Trearddur Bay before the final stretch toward the emerald waters of Rhoscolyn itself.

A taxi returns us to the cars at the end, and the evening is yours.

The group has the option to head out for dinner at The Oystercatcher in Rhosneigr (not included) - the perfect end to a big, unforgettable coastal day.

Day 3 – Rhoscolyn to Aberffraw - Distance: 30 km | Ascent/Descent: 130m / 120m

We start the day with a taxi back to Rhoscolyn, where the coastline already feels wild, windswept, and full of character. From here, we begin the journey south - a gorgeous, rolling stretch of the Anglesey Coastal Path that feels remote, peaceful, and endlessly scenic.

As the cliffs soften and the headlands open out, the sea turns that unmistakable Anglesey turquoise as we approach Traeth Llydan - a long, golden sweep of beach backed by dunes and dotted with rocky outcrops. It’s the kind of beach that invites you to slow down, breathe in the sea air, and maybe even dip your toes in the water.

The trail continues along gentle coastal curves until we reach one of the most fascinating sites on the entire island: Barclodiad y Gawres, a Neolithic burial chamber perched above Porth Trecastell (Cable Bay). The carved stones, wind-sculpted landscape, and Atlantic views combine to create one of those rare places that feels both ancient and deeply atmospheric.

We carry on toward Porth Trecastell, a beautiful sheltered bay with clean water, soft sand, and cliffs wrapping around it like a natural amphitheatre. It’s a favourite for swimmers and surfers - and a gorgeous place to pause and soak in the moment.

From here, it’s the final stretch back into Aberffraw, following a mix of dunes, estuary views, and open coastal paths, eventually leading straight back to our base at Llywelyn Fawr.

Back home, you’ll be met with the comforting smell of dinner - a home-cooked lasagne night (included).

After a long and beautiful coastal day, the hot tub and a cosy fire will be waiting for anyone who wants to unwind in the best possible way.

Day 4 – Aberffraw to Dwyran - Distance: 22 km | Ascent/Descent: 110m / 110m

We leave Aberffraw on foot, following a gentle coastal path that soon opens out into wide views, big skies, and that peaceful sense of space Anglesey does so well. The first part of the walk feels soft and expansive - dunes, estuary views, rolling sand, and the sound of the sea somewhere just out of sight.

As the route begins to curve north, the landscape rises subtly into the edge of the Newborough National Nature Reserve and Forest. One moment you're walking through open coastal scenery, and the next you’re stepping beneath tall pines and sandy woodland trails. It’s a totally different world - calm, sheltered, and filled with birdsong.

Soon the trees part and we arrive at the vast golden sweep of Llanddwyn Beach, one of the most breathtaking stretches of sand in Wales. The views across Caernarfon Bay are incredible, with the peaks of Snowdonia rising sharply in the distance. It’s the kind of place you could stay for hours - watching the light change, the tide shift, and the mountains drifting in and out of view.

We continue along the shoreline and through pockets of wild dunes before picking up the trail toward Dwyran, where the taxi will meet us for the short journey back to our base.

After a gorgeous final walking day, the evening is yours. Join the optional meal out at Pen Lon/Y Marram (not included), or head back to Llywelyn Fawr for one last hot tub under the stars or a cosy firelit evening.

Day 5 – Dwyran to Beaumaris & Depart - Distance: 29 km | Ascent/Descent: 280m / 280m

Our final morning begins in Dwyran, where we set off on a beautifully varied route that weaves together quiet countryside, ancient history, and some of the most impressive views of the entire trip.

The first highlight comes as we approach St Edwen's Church - a peaceful, centuries-old church founded in the 7th century. Tucked away above the tides and surrounded by farmland, it’s a wonderfully atmospheric spot to pause before continuing east.

The landscape then opens toward one of Anglesey’s most famous prehistoric landmarks: Bryn Celli Ddu. Known as the “Mound in the Dark,” this Neolithic burial chamber is extraordinary - not just to look at, but to step inside. The carved stones, the hush of the passageway, and the sheer age of the site make it a truly memorable stop.

From here, the trail winds through rolling fields and quiet lanes before gradually revealing the dramatic Menai Strait. Soon, the incredible engineering of the Menai Suspension Bridge comes into view — Thomas Telford’s masterpiece stretching gracefully between island and mainland. Walking beneath or alongside it offers unbeatable views across the water and towards the mountains of Eryri.

The final stretch takes us gently into Beaumaris, a lively coastal town filled with character, colourful buildings, and an inviting waterfront. It’s the perfect place to end our journey - four full days of sea air, cliffs, beaches, and ancient stories behind us.

A taxi will return drivers to Dwyran for vehicles, and we depart from Beaumaris after the walk - no evening meal needed.
