Built to help ships navigate between Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire, this lighthouse was designed by Daniel Alexander in 1809. On the outside, brave the 400 steps up and down to see the geology of the cliffs, and the 4000 birds that visit this historical lighthouse in the Summer, including puffins. Inside, explore the history of the lighthouse through the exhibitions. Car hire in Anglesey Airport means the journey to Lligwy Beach on the opposite coast takes only 50 minutes.
If the idea of Anglesey Airport car rental appeals but a cross-country drive seems a big undertaking, why not make it a day trip to the beach on the coast? Rent a car in Anglesey Airport, and travel down the A525 then B519 from Lligwy to Penmon Priory. Dissolved by Henry VIII, the monastery is nevertheless impressive, and one of the first of its kind. Look out to Puffin Island, and see a small number of monastic buildings there too. Up the road is Penmon Point, with its lighthouse, and astounding views on clear days. Visit the small café, or keep your eyes cast out to sea for the chance to see seals and dolphins.
