Holyhead

Holyhead is best known within Wales for its ferry links across the Irish Sea to Dublin. Set on Holy Island, off the west coast of Anglesey, the town has long connected Wales with Ireland; the A5 road, engineered by Thomas Telford, ends at its port. Holyhead Mountain rises above the settlement, while the South Stack cliffs and lighthouse lie nearby on the island’s exposed coast. In the centre, St Cybi’s Church stands within the walls of a Roman fort, bringing together early Christian and Roman traces in one compact site. Holyhead is also the terminus of the North Wales Coast railway line, reinforcing its role as a transport town.
