Wales Coast Path - Amwlch to Camaes Bay - Anglesey

On this one-way, westward walk along part of The Wales Coast Path we will find some interesting and scenic terrain, as well as some man-made features. Our starting point at the port of Amlwch is the northernmost town in Wales, and you’ll also pass the northernmost point of the Wales Coast Path at Llanlleiana Point. The return will be made by bus. 

Initially we will pass the area’s now derelict industry, including crossing the old railway and the old bromine works on Trwyn Costiog that looks like a set for a 1980s Dr Who episode. After Porth Wen, with its ruined brickworks, the path passes down and back up a feature known as Hell’s Mouth. A lookout tower built in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII marks Wales’ most northerly point. We encounter some more industrial ruins, those of the Porth Llanlleiana China works, which add a certain beauty to the landscape. The walk then follows spectacular clifftop paths, before reaching the church at Llanbadrig (translates as Patrick’s Church) as St Patrick was reputedly shipwrecked at the nearby island of Ynys Badrig. This is a church and graveyard with a superb view, and those with an interest in history can pop in to see the early Christian sculpted stone known as the Ichthus Stone. 

From Porth Padrig, the final section around Trwyn y Parc and into the fishing port of Cemaes, where the sandy beach makes it popular with tourists, and it’s a perfect place to end before catching the bus back.
