Anglesey National Landscape

The Isle of Anglesey National Landscape is predominantly a coastal designation of rocky headlands and sweeping sandy beaches in the north, which contrast with the dunes of the south that roll away down to Aberffraw Bay and Abermenai. The hinterland is influenced by centuries of human interaction. Amidst the patchwork of field patterns, bordered by traditional stone walls and hedgerows, are Bronze Age burial chambers, standing stones and Iron Age hut circles. Anglesey’s dark skies have become increasingly popular with stargazers and recognised as being of high importance. The Isle of Anglesey National Landscape Unit are working collaboratively with Eryri National Park and the North Wales National Landscapes to raise awareness of protecting its dark skies through community engagement and participation.
