North Wales is full of history, and Anglesey is no expectation. There are many ancient ruins and medieval castles.
The island has many villages and towns, evenly spread out, including Holyhead, Llangefni, Llannerchymedd, Amlwch and Beaumaris. Holyhead is only a couple of miles away from the coasts of Ireland, and ferries leave from the town. Anglesey also featured the village with the longest place name in Britain; Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which is abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or Lanfair PG by locals.
The entire rural coastline of Anglesey has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which has many beaches, on the east coast mostly between Amlwch and Beaumaris and on the west coast mostly between Ynys Llanddwyn and Rhosneigr. Rhosneigr is a popular spot for water sports such as wind surfing.
The north of Anglesey has more cliffs, but includes many small bays. The well known Anglesey Coastal Path stretches 124 miles (200km) around the island, with tourism being the biggest economic industry on the island.
