South Stack is set in a spectacular location to the north-west of Holyhead.
The lighthouse acts as a waymark for coastal traffic and a landmark and orientation light for vessels crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead and Dun Laoghaire. You can now experience the Lighthouse Tour having followed the keeper's journey down the 400 steps on to the island and view the fascinating geology of the surrounding cliffs.

When our world is so fast paced and full of stress, we search for quiet spaces, peace and nature. Whilst the mountains do get busy in the summer, there is a whole mountain range to explore.
You can explore by foot or take a ride on the mountain railway. Popular areas such as Snowdon/ Yr Wyddfa can get very busy during the summer months between April and September. Using the Sherpa’r Wyddfa bus service can contribute towards sustainable travel in during these busier times.
The service travels around the base of Yr Wyddfa stopping at several locations—each one a stone’s throw from the paths to the summit.

Just a short 7 minute drive away from our cottages is the World Herritage Site of Caernarfon Castle.
Castell Caernarfon is recognised around the world as one of the greatest buildings of the Middle Ages.
This fortress-palace on the banks of the River Seiont is grouped with Edward I’s other castles at Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech as a World Heritage Site. But for sheer scale and architectural drama Caernarfon stands alone.
Here Edward and his military architect Master James of St George erected a castle, town walls and a quay all at the same time. This gigantic building project eventually took 47 years and cost a staggering £25,000.
The castle was born out of bitter war with Welsh princes. So of course its immense curtain walls and daunting King’s Gate were designed to withstand assault. But the polygonal towers, eagle statues and multi-coloured masonry sent a more subtle message.
These echoed imperial Roman architecture, especially the walls of Constantinople. They also recalled the Welsh myth of Macsen Wledig, who dreamed of a great fort at the mouth of a river – ‘the fairest that man ever saw’.
So Caernarfon is a castle of dreams. A legend brought to life. Even after 700 years it still stirs the imagination like no other Welsh castle.
