Anglesey


If your idea of magic is rooted in mysticism, history, and the Welsh legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, then a trip to Wales should be on your list. While there, check out the largest island of Wales -- Anglesey. Much of the coastline has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), which protects the distinctive, attractive and varied landscapes from inappropriate development. The AONB also encompasses Holyhead Mountain where you can visit the South Stack lighthouse, rumored to be haunted by its 1853 keeper Jack Jones. Mr. Jones died tragically on his way to the lighthouse on the night of one of Anglesey's greatest storms, and his spirit supposedly lingers here. Marvel at the amazing seascape, with magnificent views of the Lleyn Peninsula and Bardsey Island, which makes South Stack one of Anglesey's must-see destinations!
