Holyhead is located on Holy Island, Anglesey. The town is best known as the ferry port that links England and Wales to Ireland via the Irish ports of Dublin and Dun Laoghaire. But it's position on the beautiful Holy Island with fine beaches at Trearddur Bay and Porth Dafarch, an abundance of historic sites, and the dramatic cliffs of North and South Stack make Holyhead more than just a stopping off point while waiting for the Ferry to Ireland.
The town is built around the Church of St Cybi, which itself is built inside the walls of a Roman fort and naval base that was founded in the late 3rd Century in an attempt to control pirates in the Irish Sea. For nature lovers and bird watchers Holyhead a short drive takes you to the fantastic South Stack Cliffs and RSPB reserve...............
