A couple of lighthouses to light up your visit!
💡 Southstack Nature Reserve (LL65 1YH). South Stack is a reserve where rolling heathland and farmland meet rugged and rocky sea cliffs. The cliffs are a vital breeding ground for Guillemots, Razorbills and Puffins in spring. The rare Chough can be seen swooping along the cliffs all year round. Dogs allowed. Pay and display parking. Cafe on site.
💡 Penmon Point (LL58 8RR). On the north east coast of Anglesey with views across the mainland, Great Orme and of course Puffin Island. Good chances of seeing dolphins and seals. Dogs allowed.
