Anglesey Coastal Path

by Carl Rogers
The Isle of Anglesey Coast Path runs for over 200km (125 miles) through some of the grandest coastal scenery in Wales: wide sandy bays and estuaries, intimate coves, dramatic cliffs and rocky islets, sand dunes and forests. Much of this coastline is designated as one of Wales' five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is now a key section of the Wales coast Path.

This Official Guide has been designed to provide all the information needed to plan and walk the coastal path and includes information on accommodation, public transport, seasonal closures, tidal restrictions and a distance chart. The walk itself is described in twelve day-walk chapter sections with detailed route descriptions and full Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale Landranger mapping.
The route is described in a clockwise direction. There are also comprehensive notes on points of interest encountered along the way. The book is beautifully illustrated with colour photographs and contains an introduction to the island.

This map is essentially an Ordnance Survey Explorer 1:25000 scale map of the Wales Coast Path covering the complete Isle of Anglesey section. But it has the additional benefit of having the map in a book format. This innovative concept makes it a perfect companion for walkers on the Trail as the book format is more convenient and easier to use while outside compared with a large paper map. It is also more cost effective, reducing the need to purchase several OS Explorer sheets necessary for a linear route.

The complete Isle of Anglesey path is covered in 41 pages of full colour mapping, beginning from the Menai Bridge and travelling in an anti-clockwise direction. The path is clearly marked on the maps and there are symbols showing facilities at the main towns and villages. There is also a page with useful contact information and a short introduction with a photographic mosaic.

Almost all of Anglesey's complete, unbroken 125-mile coastal circuit is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty. Th island is famous for its dramatic cliffs, vast sandy beaches, prehistoric sites, medieval castle, several lighthouses, rich natural habitats and plentiful wildlife. Along the way you have a good chance of spotting grey seals, red squirrels and dolphins as well as peregrines, puffins and choughs.
