Such is the variety of shapes and types, present through at least 4 mountain building periods, that casual visitors and local people alike cannot but marvel at the magnificient colours and structures visible around the coast of this magic isle.

Explore and discover this outstanding geo-heritage, which the island derives its local and regional distinctiveness and character. By taking a tour along the coastine, which is nationally recognised as an area of outstanding beauty, using the prestigous coastal path allows access to 90% of Anglesey's geological highlights.

Most of the coast is accessible to all, be it the seasoned walker rambling the entire 125 miles or the casual visitor dipping into one or more of the scenically beautiful 'honeypot' sites along its length.
