Walks on Anglesey - Cemaes and Cemlyn
Two beautifully presented walking guides to Cemaes and Cemlyn.
Walks on Anglesey - Cemaes
Cemaes on the Isle of Anglesey, the most northerly village in Wales, is flanked by exceptionally attractive stretches of rugged coastline and is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its focal point is a picturesque old harbour and sheltered sandy beach.
Much of the land here – stretches of coastline to the east of the
harbour and the Dinas Gynfor headland – is owned and cared for by the
National Trust.
Cemaes is the starting point for a number of walks which will take you along some of the most wildly beautiful coastline in Wales.
Along the way, there's a fascinating range of historic sites – an Iron Age fort, headland church and abandoned industrial workings.
Walks on Anglesey – Cemlyn
The ruggedly beautiful north coast of the Isle of Anglesey has an indented coastline of rocks, small bays and headlands. At Cemlyn Bay the most distinctive natural feature is the lagoon, separated from the sea by a shingle bar. Cemlyn's name reflects this unusual formation – cam (crooked) and llyn (lake) describe the shape of the lagoon.
The area is renowned for its wildlife, in particular the winter wildfowl attracted to the lagoon and the summer colony of terns.
This National Trust property is managed as a bird reserve. The rocky shoreline – scene of many shipwrecks – is part of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that runs around Anglesey's coast.
Much of the coast around Cemlyn is also designated a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest.
