Top 5 attractions you have to see in Amlwch
From geological wonders to coastal paths, Amlwch packs in attractions that suit everyone. Here are the five you absolutely must visit during your cottage break.
Parys Mountain
This ancient copper mine dominates the landscape with its vivid orange and red rocks. The 4000-year mining history has created an alien landscape that's utterly unique in Britain. You can walk around the site freely and the colours are most striking after rain.
Anglesey Coastal Path
The section near Amlwch ranks among the best bits of this 125-mile trail. Dramatic cliffs and hidden beaches make every walk memorable. We recommend the stretch to Point Lynas lighthouse which takes about two hours and offers incredible views.
Porth Eilian
This sheltered cove sits just east of town and features a restored Victorian boathouse. The beach is perfect for families with rock pools to explore at low tide. It's quieter than Anglesey's southern beaches and the water quality is excellent.
Amlwch Port
The historic harbour tells the story of the copper trade through restored buildings and information boards. The Sail Loft houses exhibitions about maritime history. Visit at high tide when the harbour fills completely and small boats bob against the quayside.
Bull Bay
Just west of Amlwch, this bay offers excellent coastal walks and a proper local pub. The Watch House serves great food with sea views. It's popular with surfers when the swell picks up and the sunsets here are spectacular.
