Cycling in Anglesey

Cycling in Anglesey

From the Travelodge in Holyhead, we drove to Cemaes and parked in the car park by the harbour to begin a bit of cycling in Anglesey.

As we cycled along we could see Holyhead across the bay.

As we came over the top of one rise, we were suprised to see a windmill! It was called Llynnon Mill and has aparently been restored by Anglesey council.

Our route was very scenic, passing all kinds of interesting places.

We stopped along the way for a coffee and a banana, as I was really tired and was struggling.

The ride covered 33 miles and overall we climbed 2310 feet, which was mainly rolling countryside rather than any specific large hills.

Having got back to the Travelodge at Holyhead, we had a quick change and headed out to look round before it went dark.image

The biggest attraction was St Cybi’s Church.

Holyhead is a town that seems to have a huge number of pubs!

We got an Indian takeway from a place on William Street called Curry Nights. It was excellent food and we would highly recommend it!
