Louise and Twid Turner are both International Mountain Guides. They bought Moel -y-Don, Trearddur Bay, as they both loved the beaches and cliffs of Anglesey. Trearddur Bay lies in a central location for both some of North Wales beach beaches and some of the wildest coast line of the British Isles. If you are a bird watcher, climber, walker, fisherman, canoeist, golfer or a family seeeking sun sea and sand the location of their cottage is perfect. Its also a short walk to many great pubs and restaurants.
South Stack
South Stack visitor centre
Cafe and visitor centre at South Stack.
Enjoy a close-up view onto a wonderful cliff-side nesting colony,
with binoculars and telescopes provided. You'll be able to watch
guillemots, razorbills and puffins all raising their young, while live
television pictures give you an even closer view of the nests! Rare
choughs can also be seen on the reserve.
In spring and summer,
the heathland becomes a riot of colour. Look closely and you may see a
basking adder, while out to sea there may be porpoises and dolphins.
