The town of Holyhead is situated at the northwesternmost tip of Wales, offering one of the most dramatic lighthouse scenes available anywhere, as the landmass points across the sea towards Ireland. Today, Holyhead is scenic, but it began as a strategic location—the city center you can still explore was originally the site of a Roman fort. Beyond Holyhead itself lies an abundance of Welsh beauty across the Anglesey region: verdant hills, imposing castles, historic railways, neighboring villages, and more. Additionally, do not miss the local arts center or the charming pubs!
