Discover the Wales Coast Path – Starting with Anglesey
Imagine a single trail that lets you walk the entire coastline of a country – from sandy bays and fishing villages to dramatic cliffs, castles, and wild headlands. That’s exactly what the Wales Coast Path offers. At 870 miles long, it’s one of the few footpaths in the world to trace a nation’s entire coastline.
For many walkers, the idea of completing the whole path can feel daunting, but it doesn’t need to be done all in one go. Each stretch is unique and rewarding in its own right – and one of the very best places to start is Anglesey.
The Anglesey Coast Path
Encircling the island for 130 miles, the Anglesey Coast Path is packed with variety. In a few days of walking you’ll pass:
Beaumaris with its iconic castle and colourful streets.
Red Wharf Bay, with wide open sands and sweeping views.
South Stack, where sea cliffs and seabirds take centre stage.
Newborough, home to pine forests and Ynys Llanddwyn, a tidal island steeped in legend.
It’s a route that combines history, culture, wildlife and some of the most spectacular seascapes in Wales.
Why Walk It?
Walking the Wales Coast Path is more than just exercise – it’s about:
Slowing down and seeing Wales from a new perspective.
Discovering local stories in the towns and villages you pass through.
Challenging yourself, whether it’s a short circular walk or a long-distance section.
Creating memories with friends and family as each new mile reveals something different.
Taking on the Challenge
You don’t need to commit to the full 870 miles at once. Start small – perhaps a weekend on the Anglesey Coast Path, or even a day exploring around Beaumaris. Each step counts, and before you know it, you’ll have clocked up whole stretches of this remarkable trail.
So why not make it your next adventure? Pack your boots, bring a map, and take the first step on the Wales Coast Path – it might just become a lifelong journey.
