June 6, 2025, Stanley Embankment (The Cob)

For its natural beauty and easy access. This route is perfect for both novice and more experienced cyclists. A well designed cycle lane separates motorists, pedestrians and cyclists.

Rhosneigr has two large sandy beaches, both brilliant for exploring, walking or playing on. They even won the Green Coast seaside award. The Wales Coast Path and the Isle of Anglesey Coast Path both walk past here.

Found this lovely cafe off the A5 London Road. Perfect little cafe with amazing views, some funny sheds you can sit in, and plenty of outside seating. Open Sat - Wednesday 11am till 4pm closed Thursday and Friday Would definitely recommend it. The path that carries on you will also see public toilets in the carpark. If you go beyond there, it's a dead end for bikes, but ok for walkers.

Dead end for road bikes. It's a big carpark, but it does have a public toilet 🚻 Nice on a sunny day, but not really a good highlight unless you need the loo.

The Stanley embankment is known locally as The Cob, it joins Anglesey to Holy island. The cob is basically the old A5 road and rail link to Holyhead. When travelling on the newer A55 to Holyhead it can be seen to the right as you cross the inland sea. The Cob creates a pinch point where the vast tidal forces push the water through at high tide. At low tide it a vast expanse almost devoid of water.

The bridge itself takes the same name as the village it is situated in and is one of three bridges connecting Holy Island and Anglesey. The bridge is approximately four miles (6.5 km) from Holyhead via the old road route, giving it, and the village, its name. A bridge at this location was in existence by 1530, and was the only land route to Holyhead until the construction of the Stanley Embankment in 1823. It is 120 metres (390 ft) long and carries the B4545 road over the Cymyran strait. I think the crossing over the water is about 5km

It’s definitely not 4 miles long, but it is 4 miles from Holyhead (on the old road). Until the 1800s this was the only crossing to Holy Island; now it forms the ‘inland sea’ together with the main crossing on The Cob embankment at the northern end of the Cymran Strait.
