Llanfairpwllgwyngyll Railway Station

Highlight • Settlement

Nice station building featuring the fanous sign with the 58 character long name of the place, which is commonly used in one of its shorter forms. At the tourist trap on the other side of the parling lot is a translation into English, while the sign on the platform provides pronounciation guidance.

Probably besides the Marquess of Anglesey's Column the only really highlight in this place.

Pont Marquis

Highlight • River

Pont Marquis Bridge
Spanning the Afon Cefni, carrying the Trefdraeth to Llangaffo road, c. 3km ENE of Malltraeth. The bridge, which is Grade II listed, was built in the early C19, was named for the Earl of Uxbridge, first Marquis of Anglesey.
It gives wonderful scenery over the marsh land and plenty of wildlife.

Aberffraw Village and River Ffraw

Highlight • Settlement

A lovely little coastal village at the mouth of the river Ffraw, just before it flows into the sea. There's a handy shop here to stock up on supplies. With thriving wildlife, traditional white cottages, and a picturesque church, it's a lovely place to stop, rain or shine!

The Cob Path and Cefni Estuary Views

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Cob (about a mile in length) is an elevated tarmac footpath/cycle trail which runs parallel to the road but about 150 feet (50 m) from it.

It provides excellent views across the Cefni estuary and the distant mountains of Snowdonia and also leads to Newborough Forest where there are circular cycle trails leading directly to the beach (which can get very busy). If you are thinking of riding any of the trails in Newborough Forest I would recommend at least a hybrid bike as they can become rough in places.
