South Stack

A great place, walking, views, history, bird life. Fresh sea air. Meeting locals like Denise the Shepherdess and Bo tending her sheep.

South Stack Lighthouse offers one of the most breathtaking sunset views in the UK. As the sun dips into the sea, the sky explodes with colour, casting a golden glow over the cliffs and ocean. The dramatic setting—perched on a rugged island linked by a footbridge—makes it feel truly magical. The peaceful atmosphere and panoramic views are unforgettable. A must-visit spot for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone in need of a moment of awe

Great visit to the lighthouse. There were only two of us on our tour so we got a detailed description of the working of the light mechanism and history of the early lighthouse keepers and their families. Recommended.

Stunning decent down 300 steps ( not for faint hearted , or those with mobility and /or fitness limitations - there are No short cuts back ). Views are stunning ( regardless of the weather ). Tickets to access the island are purchased from a cabin next to the RSPB visitor centre ( 10 minutes walk before you begin the decent down the steps ). Dogs are not allowed On the island - Nor in the RSGB visitor centre .

Such a beautiful place to visit - especially when the sun is out! Go to Elin’s Tower and look through the binoculars or telescope and see what you can discover. Lovely ice cream at the cafe. Didn’t get to go the lighthouse, maybe next time?

South Stack is one of the most breathtaking spots on the Isle of Anglesey and a must-visit if you're in North Wales. The walk down to the lighthouse is a bit of a leg workout (over 400 steps!), but the views along the way are absolutely worth it. On clear days, you can see for miles across the Irish Sea. The visitor centre has parking, food, and clean facilities toilets. The whole area has a peaceful, untouched vibe that makes it perfect day out.

Amazing place. Fantastic views, cafe wasn't cheap but good quality.

The scenery is breathtaking unfortunately it was a very windy and misty day and the lighthouse was closed and walking was almost impossible. Lovely little cafe and RSPB gift shop will return on a calmer day

30 metres of the sea seperate the little island Ynys Lawd / South Stack Rock from Holyhead Island. You have to climb down circa 400 steps before you can cross the bridge that leads to the lighthouse that is more than 27 metres high. In 1908/09 the Lighthouse was finished being built by Joseph Nelson. There are many varieties of birds near South Stack. The most spectacular light-house in Wales. Been here three times! The sunsets are stunning.

A beautiful place to visit without opening the purse. It can be enjoyed in all seasons as it provides a different view everyday. Ideal to spot national wildlife both in and out of the sea. It gives plenty to look at as you are able to see a lot of the coastline and admire the natural beauty that is left in Britain. Although it doesn't have any modern entertainment the whole family can enjoy a day out whether its just a walk or picnic. Anglesey as a whole is a different walk of life, when you visit you feel chilled out as the breath taking scenery takes you in. Not far from South Stack there are various country pubs and places where you can enjoy a simple snack or fantastic meal. Definitely a place to visit as its simple, enjoyable, cheap and when you've been once you have to go again.

Its a beautifull place to vidit for a day out and the wildlife iss tunning. I love it.

amazing place, the view is outstanding, your brain will find it difficult to handle what your eyes can see. simply stunning!
