Anglesey: the UK's Hidden Gem

Anglesey is a unique island county located in north-west Wales, separated from the mainland by the Menai Straits.

In 1974 it became the district of Ynys Mon in the county of Gwynedd, but was reconstituted as a county in 1996. Its location, together with the protective barrier of the Snowdonian mountains, made it a traditional centre of resistance to invaders, Roman and Norman. But after conquest by Edward I it was created a county of the principality of Wales in 1284, a status confirmed at the Act of Union of 1536.

Today Anglesey draws a lot of tourists, with its beautiful beaches and acres of untouched countryside - it's one of the UK's hidden treasures. There are lots of tours to go on when you arrive here, including literary tours. Personally, I always love the mix of history and taking in sights when travelling - you really get a feel for a place on such tours.

Angelsey also attracts a lot of ramblers - there's a huge number of popular walkways criss-crossing the island.

If all of that sounds like too much hard work, then there's plenty of beaches to find a spot to lie down and read your favourite novel.

At the end of a hard day walking (or just sun-bathing), Angelsey offers many accommodation options, including holiday cottages.
