Read all about its story here <p>South Stack is one of Wales' most visited and spectacular lighthouses, it's located about 2-3 miles west of Holyhead, on a tiny islet just off Holy Island on the North West tip of Anglesey.</p> <p>South Stack has been a warning beacon for passing ships since it's construction over 200 years ago, cautioning them of the deadly rocks below. The lighthouse helps guide shipping in the busy channel into the Mersey, and is a waymark for local seafarers, as well as for coastal traffic crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.</p> <p><img width="499" height="333" alt="South Stack 2" src="/media/998710/South-Stack-2_499x333.jpg"/></p> <p>As children a visit to the lighthouse was a beloved day-out, and known to us all as an 'MMT' (Magical Mystery Tour)! Whenever dad shouted-out that he was taking us on an MMT we were delighted, although not in the slightest bit surprised to end up at South Stack! It's still a place we love to go today, and the magic has never worn off. If not your personal No 1 Anglesey adventure, it's GOT to be in your top 5! Nowadays it offers even more than it once did - and a lot of that has to do with the RSPB's presence there.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The South Stack Lighthouse was built by Trinity House; a charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers. The Corporation of Trinity House has a long and illustrious history in the service of mariners. Nowadays it also provides education, as well as support and welfare, to the UK's seafaring community. They have a statutory duty, as a General Lighthouse Authority, "to deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective aids to navigational services for the benefit and safety of all mariners". The safety of shipping, and the wellbeing of seafarers, have been the prime concerns of Trinity House since being incorporated (by Royal Charter) by Henry VIII on the 20th of May, 1514.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Watch your step!</strong></p> <p>Nowadays the islet, separated from Holy Island Island by 30 metres of often turbulent seas and treacherous rocks, is reachable via a footbridge...oh and the 400 steps you need to climb down to get to there! &nbsp;However, this was not always the case. The coastline in this area, from the breakwater in Holyhead, around to the South-western shore, is made-up of large granite cliffs, with sheer drops of up to 60 metres, and fierce tide-races below!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Although the lighthouse's construction was completed in 1809, it was first envisaged in 1665, when a petition for a patent to build a lighthouse on the spot was presented to Charles II. The patent wasn't immediately granted though, and not until the 9th of February, 1809, did the first light appear to mark this rocky little island out as the lighthouse's setting. Not until 1828, eight years after the lighthouse was finished, was a bridge added!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Trinity House employee, Daniel Alexander, was the main surveyor and architect. Originally he had it fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Yet, in about 1840, a small railtrack was installed in order that a lantern, with an additional light, could be lowered down the cliff, to sea level, when fog had concealed the main beam above.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In his capacity as surveyor, Alexander built a number of lighthouses, including, the High Lighthouse at Harwich in 1818, and others at, Farne and Lundy Islands. &nbsp;His first major work was the improvement of the medieval bridge at Rochester. He was also the principal architect of Dartmoor and Maidstone Prisons, two of the oldest goals still in use. In 1799 he carried out a detailed survey of Rochester Cathedral, and recommended a programme of repairs. Alexander was also a surveyor with the London Dock Company, between 1796 and 183, and was responsible for all the buildings there during that time. Other works include Mote House near&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidstone" target="_blank">Maidstone</a>, built in the 1790s, repairs to Coley House near&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading,_Berkshire" target="_blank">Reading</a>, as well as &nbsp;extensions to&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inigo_Jones" target="_blank">Inigo Jones</a>' Queen's House (then the Royal Naval Asylum) in&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich,_London" target="_blank">Greenwich, London</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Let there be Light</strong></p> <p>In the mid 1870s the lighthouse's lantern and lighting apparatus were replaced by newer machinery. Then, in 1909 (100 years after its construction) an early form of incandescent light was installed. This was replaced in 1927, by a more modern form of incandescent 'mantle burner'. The Lighthouse was properly electrified in 1938. It wasn't until 1983 that the lighthouse was automated, meaning that the last lighthouse keepers were withdrawn from the site. A necessary, yet &nbsp;somber day. From then on the lighthouse was, and still is, monitored and controlled automatically, from Trinity House's Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In 1983 the footbridge ,sadly, had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons - which I remember! &nbsp;However, in 1998 a new aluminium bridge was built, and once again the island was opened to the public; this is the bridge we can all still cross today. Until 1828, before the footbridge was added, the only means of crossing the deep-water channel to the island was via a wicker basket... suspended on a hempen cable! Yes, they had to brave the swirling seas below them in nothing more than a hamper-like container on a rope! Now, if you've ever walked across the footbridge, you'll know what a terrifying prospect that must have been - although I imagine those who did it were far braver than me! In 1859, during the horrendous storm that wrecked the 'Royal Charter' off Moelfre (some say it should be classed as a hurricane), one of the keepers was fatally hit on the head by a falling rock as he came on duty. Many of the keepers lived here with their families; I can only imagine what a panic the poor mother must have constantly been in, trying to keep tabs on the children! If you go on the 'Lighthouse Tour' you'll hear more about the domestic side of things on the islet - so, as I don't want to spoil things, i'll leave it at that for now!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>South Stack Lighthouse Facts</strong></p> <ul> <li>Height of Tower - 28 m/91 ft</li> <li>Height of light above Mean High Water- 60 m</li> <li>Automated - 1983</li> <li>Electrified - 1938</li> <li>Intensity - 467,000 candela</li> <li>Range of light - 28 &nbsp;NM</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;<img width="500" height="229" alt="South Stack 3" src="/media/998718/South-Stack-3_500x229.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Today's Lighthouse</strong></p> <p>With it's breathtaking views, and opportunities to see a plethora of seabirds, South Stack Lighthouse now welcomes thousands of visitors every year.

Tours of the South Stack Lighthouse are organised by the Isle of Anglesey County Council, under licence from the Corporation of Trinity House, with the RSPB selling tickets on the council's behalf. Take note, the bridge is closed every Friday.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As weather conditions can be variable, sometimes restricting access to the island, it's a good idea, in order avoid disappointment, to telephone or check the website before you visit. NB Don't forget to buy your tickets at the top BEFORE walking down the steps! Open from 10.30am until 5pm, with the last ticket sold at 4pm, and last entry at 4.30pm. You're advised to wear flat shoes, but not flipflops. Lighthouse Tours can cater for groups of up to 20 only. Be aware that at busy times there may be a delay of up to an hour. Also, there are no toilets on the island - and no dogs allowed either. Children are very welcome, but must be at least 1.1m in height. All visitors (including children) must be able to ascend and descend the stairs unaided.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Make a day of it</strong></p> <p>Other facilities in the immediate area include an&nbsp;<strong>RSPB visitor and information centre</strong>, including a cafe, picnic area, toilets, a viewing 'tower' with telescopes and binoculars etc, and guided walks. A full programme of educational, conservation and active pursuits are also available throughout the year - all organised by the RSPB. All profits go towards the cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The viewing part of the visitor's centre is called&nbsp;<strong>Elin's Tower</strong>. Elin's Tower (Tŵr Elin) is a squat,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castellated" target="_blank">castellated</a>&nbsp;building located only a short walk from the parking area and cafe/shop. Built between 1820 and 1850 by the local, and well known&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stanley,_1st_Baron_Stanley_of_Alderley" target="_blank">Stanley family</a>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrhos,_Anglesey" target="_blank">Penrhos</a>, it was originally used as a&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_house" target="_blank">summer house</a>. Today it affords fabulous views of the surrounding cliffs and lighthouse. It's open daily from 10 am to 5 pm, from Easter to September, with free entry. Right on the cliff-edge, it's an amazing place to watch thousands of breeding seabirds! Here you can watch the gulls, choughs, fulmars, peregrine falcons, guillemots, puffins and razorbills (to name but a few) at your leisure, and can even view live action, via CCTV, of nesting birds on the cliffs. Between May and June is the best time to visit, when thousands of romantically-minded feathered couples congregate to mate and nest here! There is disabled and pushchair access to Elin's Tower.</p> <p><img width="497" height="325" alt="South Stack 4" src="/media/998694/South-Stack-4_497x325.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As stated before, there are over 400 stone steps down to the lighthouse island (not 365, as local legend would have it), and as you take each one, you can't help being moved by the awe-inspiring scenery and geology! If you visit during the Spring and Summer months, you'll also be able to enjoy the vast areas of headland, heathland and hilly interior that this part of the island has to offer, in all their glory. They &nbsp;become a riot of colour, with coconut-scented yellow gorse, bright-purple heather, and other glorious wildflowers that will, quite literally, wow you! Look closely and you might even see a basking adder, rabbits and hares running free, or beguiling butterflies! Look out to sea you may catch a glimpe frolocking seals, or the pods of porpoises and dolphins that often perform below!</p> <p>Numerous footpaths lead into this bracken-covered, wonderland. Why not hike 700ft to the top of&nbsp;<strong>Holyhead Mountain</strong>&nbsp;(Mynydd Twr), which takes about 45 minutes? If you don't have quite enough energy for this, a short stroll along a path that's opposite the car park will take you to an ancient settlement of stone roundhouses. The&nbsp;<a href="#" target="_blank" title="Anglesey Coastal Path">Anglesey Coastal Path</a>&nbsp;passes South Stack, as does the&nbsp;<strong>Cybi Circular Walk</strong>. The latter has both long and short variants; the shorter walk is 4 miles long and takes about two hours to complete. Sites along the way, as well as those mentioned previously, include the North Stack Fog Signal station, and Holyhead's Breakwater Park. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Follow the light!</strong></p> <p>On Anglesey, take the A55 dual carriageway from Bangor to Holyhead and then follow signs to Holyhead Town Centre, from where the lighthouse and RSPB reserve are signposted. You can also get there from Trearddur Bay - &nbsp;by following the coastal road around the bay towards Porth Dafarch and Porth-y-post, then heading North/NW.</p> <p>South Stack, Nr Holyhead, LL65 1YH</p> <p>Telephone: 01407 762100</p> <p>Email: south.stack@rspb.org.uk</p> <p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/seenature/reserves/guide/s/southstackcliffs/index.aspx" target="_blank">www.rspb.org.uk</a></p> <p>NB although the council has a website dedicated to the South Stack, it's never very up-to-date.

Don’t mind if I do!Our Book a Cook service can be the icing on the cake - find out more about the service and our talented chefs, Francois and Anastasia. <p>If you want the freedom of a private property but don't really want to be cooking for you and your guests, or if you want to celebrate a special occasion in the comfort of your holiday cottage, then a private chef is the ideal solution.</p> <p>Our talented chefs, Francois &amp; Anastasia come with a wealth of experience. Francois was personal chef to the Earl &amp; Countess of Arundel, and more recently ran his own private chef business on the Island of Islay before moving to Anglesey.&nbsp; Anastasia graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before, happily for us, working her way across to North Wales!</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Francois And Ana 2" src="/media/997954/Francois-and-Ana-2_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: Who is this service for?</strong></p> <p>A: Anyone!&nbsp; It can be as formal or informal as the occasion commands it. From a romantic dinner for two to a large gathering of friends or family.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: What happens following a Book a Cook enquiry with Menai Holiday Cottages?</strong></p> <p>A: From the initial enquiry, Francois or Anastasia will telephone you to find out more about the occasion, likes and dislikes, dietary requirements and to discuss possible menus. They will then write three different menu options at three different prices for you to choose from. Once the menu is agreed, your booking is confirmed.&nbsp;<a href="#" target="_blank" title="Book a Cook">You can see samples of recent menus here.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: What to expect on the day?</strong></p> <p>A: On the day, your chef/s will aim to arrive at your cottage approximately an hour and a half before your meal is to be served.&nbsp; This allows them to make bread, canapés and all the necessary preparations for the meal.&nbsp; They will serve and clear each course, take care of the washing up and will leave the kitchen as it was found. We like to end the meal with a fine selection of Welsh cheeses or a plate of petits fours.</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Francois And Ana 3" src="/media/997925/Francois-and-Ana-3_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: Do you just cater for dinner?</strong></p> <p>A: Not at all! Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner….whatever you want.&nbsp; We can even offer a fully catered service so you literally don't have to think about a single meal during your stay.&nbsp; Alternatively, if you want something a little different - a BBQ by the beach, a seafood extravaganza complete with a masterclass on how to prepare a lobster or even an afternoon of foraging followed by supper using your finds - then please just ask.</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Food" src="/media/997946/Food_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: How about payment?</strong></p> <p>A: If your booking is well in advance, we may ask for a 25% deposit to secure your chosen date.&nbsp; We usually take full payment on the night, just before or just after the party and this can be by way of card, cash or bank transfer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: Can I afford it?</strong></p> <p>A: Our chef's pricing structure is based on the better eating places in the area. There are no hidden costs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: How do I make an enquiry?</strong></p> <p>A: In the first instance, please contact Judith Matthews: 01248 430258 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:judith@menaiholidays.co.uk" target="_blank">judith@menaiholidays.co.uk</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 0‘My North Wales’This is the second post in our My North Wales' series. Luke from our Marketing team talks us through why he loves the region. <p><span>I am a born and bred "North-Walian"! My family have always lived on Anglesey, so you can say I have North Wales running through my veins. Apart from a short stint in the big city, I have lived in North Wales and specifically Anglesey my whole life. My childhood memories consist of days out at the beach and jumping into the sea at any beach fully clothed (much to the annoyance of my mother!) Although, I have been known to do this recently as well…</span></p> <p><span><img width="500" height="669" alt="Luke 2" src="/media/995428/Luke-2_500x669.jpg"/></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span>I also remember fondly picking blackberries on the farm I lived on briefly, playing sports in the local fields with my friends and then popping down to the local circus &amp; fair on Newry Beach during the summer to finish off the day and also taking walks up the mountain (it's really a hill) to take in the spectacular views. Great memories! In my teenage years, me and my friends used to love a trip to the beaches across Anglesey, after school of course...!&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/penrhos-beach.htm" target="_blank">Penrhos Beach</a><span>, private beach at Penrhos Nature Reserve,&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/porth-dafarch.htm" target="_blank">Porth Dafarch beach</a><span>,&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/trearddur-bay.htm" target="_blank">Trearddur Bay</a><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/llanddwyn-beach.htm" target="_blank">Newborough</a><span>&nbsp;(pictured below) to name a few.

Well my response would be… "why not?" &nbsp;North Wales has so much to offer, sometimes you just have to make the effort to find it. I would love to share with you some of the reasons why I love North Wales.</p> <p>First of all the Scenery. No matter which part of North Wales you go to, there is always a fantastic view of the sea, rolling mountains or a quaint village or town to enjoy. Just look below, you don't get to enjoy views like this on your average lunch break!</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Menai Straits View" src="/media/995396/Menai-straits-view_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p>For those of you who love a bit of adventure, North Wales is now leading the way in outdoor activities in the UK.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.zipworld.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zip World</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.zipworld.co.uk/adventure/detail/bounce-below" target="_blank">Bounce Below</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://surfsnowdonia.co.uk/" target="_blank">Surf Snowdonia</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;to name a few are all must do's.

I am a real foody and fancy myself as a bit of a "Masterchef Champion in waiting". North Wales has seen an influx of fantastic restaurants over the last couple of years! I recently went to<a href="http://www.sosbanandtheoldbutchers.com/" target="_blank">The Sosban and The Old Butchers</a>&nbsp;in Menai Bridge for my birthday meal, one word…WOW! No Menu, no expectations and I was blown away by the food and the cost of the tasting menu, a Michelin star would not go a miss!

I checked my plant pots the other day and beneath the brave little winter pansies, you can see the beginnings of shoots and the promise of some colour in the next few weeks. Before you know it, Spring will have sprung. I can safely say that this is one of my favourite times of year. Growing up, we didn't have any extraordinary traditions over the Easter weekend, other than a small egg hunt, sitting down to roast lamb as a family and chocolate eggs, but it always felt like a special day. It felt more peaceful than other holidays and we had a fabulous long weekend to look forward to as a family. My green fingered parents would be full steam ahead in the garden and it was usually the first time you could play outside without a jacket on. Twenty years on and there seems to be a lot more on offer in North Wales than a roast dinner and some gardening!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Easter 2" src="/media/995914/Easter-2_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The month of March sees spring in full bloom and for those of you looking to book an <a href="#" target="_blank" title="Easter Cottages">Easter break in a North Wales holiday cottage</a>&nbsp;there is a lot to look forward to. Here are my top 10 Eggstravagant Easter Activities and fun for all the family around the region -</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/539936446165720/" target="_blank">1. The Abersoch Welsh Spring Festival</a><br /> <br /> This event will take place just after St. David's Day, over the weekend of 4th - 6th March and will celebrate the start of Spring and all things Welsh. It is a new event for 2016. Planned activities include a vintage car rally, a village carnival, an evening of Welsh influenced music, local artisan market and activities for children including face painting and games. There will also be the opportunity to look back at village history and learn a little more about the local area.<br /> <br /> The National Trust knows how to put on a good show at Easter. They have teamed up with<br /> <br /> Cadbury's to offer some quality egg hunts at their properties. Egg Hunts seem to abound in the region this year. Here are some of the best - &nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/382fc7c0-59b4-4d42-9108-97bda7334967/pages/details" target="_blank">2. Plas Newydd Egg Rolling Race</a><br /> <br /> This stunning stately home on the Menai Straits offers some great egg based activities and the gardens come in to their own at this time of year. Join the hunt to find clues hidden by the Easter Bunny that will lead you to a chocolate prize. You can even take part in their famous Easter Sunday "Egg Rolling Race." The event will run from 25th - 28th March 2016. Daily from 11.00 - 15.30.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/bfc48dbc-9d38-4bed-b742-2604073ca254/pages/details" target="_blank">3. Porth y Swnt egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> I love a drive to the end of the Llyn and the village of Aberdaron. Porth y Swnt, the National Trust Centre, will be running an Easter Egg Hunt around this beautiful fishing village. Explore the village to find the clues that lead to the chocolate. From February of this year, Porth y Swnt will be taking on the "50 Fun Things to do before you're 11 and 3/4." Pick up your 50 things scrapbook and join in with an afternoon of activity on selected dates throughout the spring and summer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="334" alt="Easter 3" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995877/Easter-3_500x334.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/55a06794-8a1f-4e2a-b97c-1ce2a88b234e/pages/details" target="_blank">4. Beddgelert Easter egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> My children love the story of Gelert and the wolf and so a trip to Snowdonia could be just the ticket over Easter weekend. Look out for the Easter Egg Hunt at Craflwyn and Beddgelert. &nbsp;Families have the opportunity to go out and explore the wonderful views, wildlife and habitats that make the area so special. Follow in the footsteps of legends around Beddgelert as you join hunt. Start off at Ty Isaf and see where the journey takes you. 25th - 28th March 2016 Daily from 11.00 - 17.00</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/plas-yn-rhiw/whats-on-" target="_blank">5. Plas yn Rhiw's Egg-cellent fun</a><br /> <br /> I love the pretty gardens at Plas yn Rhiw and they come in to their element in the spring. The house will also be joining in the fun over Easter weekend. Follow the trail through this stunning garden perched high above Cardigan Bay, to claim your chocolate Egghead. 26th and 27th March 2016 from 11.00 - 16.00</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://bala-lake-railway.co.uk/events/2016.html#easter" target="_blank">6. Bala Lake Railway egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> Everyone knows that my family and I love a trip on a steam train. If you do too then look out for the Bala Lake Railway Easter Egg Hunt. Can you find all the Easter Eggs that the White Rabbit has hidden around the railway? There are 15 to find in total. It's great fun, and takes place on every train from Good Friday to Easter Monday for no extra cost other than the usual fare. You'll also get to enjoy a lovely train ride through the beautiful countryside of southern Snowdonia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="495" height="235" alt="Bala Egg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995901/Bala-egg_495x235.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.talyllyn.co.uk/easter-bunny" target="_blank">7. Easter fun at Talyllyn Railway</a><br /> <br /> There is fun for the family as the Easter Bunny visits Tywyn Wharf station. He'll be greeting children and waving off the trains all day. You can join the Easter Egg hunt with a special prize for the winner. &nbsp;The steam trains are running all day, with five return trips from Tywyn Wharf, you can take the train on a fun filled journey to Dolgoch Falls or Nant Gwernol. Trains stop at Abergynolwyn for refreshments, home of the Railway Adventure Playground. There are no extra charges for this event either which is fab!<br /> <br /> Both Greenwood Forest Park and the Welsh Mountain Zoo are also offering Easter Eggstravaganzas and fun for all over the Easter break.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.conwybeekeepers.org.uk/fairs-festivals/" target="_blank">8. Conwy Seed Fair</a><br /> <br /> If searching for eggs isn't your thing, there are some lovely events on offer of the non-chocolatey variety. Coming from someone who is currently landscaping the garden, I'm looking forward to Conwy Seed Fair, a 700 year old Royal charter fair, founded by Edward 1st and held in Conwy High Street and Lancaster Square every 26th March. They have been given a special dispensation to run the event on Friday 1st April to avoid the Easter Sunday traffic. Look out for plant and seed stalls, local crafts, local produce, honey from local beekeepers and home produce. The fair will run from 09.00 - 16.00.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.lovetywyn.com/easter-street-fair.html" target="_blank">9. Tywyn's Easter Street Fair</a><br /> <br /> You can't beat a good market and Tywyn's Easter Street Fair&nbsp;is just that. It is an annual street market which takes place on Easter Monday in the town centre. The market stalls return every Monday from May to October on the market field behind the Corbett Arms Hotel. It is a lovely tripout for all the family with some great things on offer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Tywyn Easter" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995893/Tywyn-easter_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.angleseyartsforum.org/" target="_blank">10. Angl</a><a href="http://www.angleseyartsforum.org/" target="_blank">esey Arts Week</a><br /> <br /> And finally for those of you who fancy something a little more artistic than egg painting, Anglesey artists throw open their doors from 19th March to 3rd April this year for the twelfth annual Anglesey Arts Week. Last year saw over 15,000 make their way to the island for the event. This year during the Open Studios and Galleries Weeks, 60 painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, printmakers, installation artists and craft workers open their studios to visitors, or exhibit in one of the participating galleries. Venues include studios, chapels, barns, sheds, galleries and artists' homes. You have the chance to meet and talk with the artist and see their work. You could always combine this with a stay on the Island. We have some fantastic Anglesey cottages to choose from and many more for those fancying something on the Llyn or in the mountains.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 08510/media/1017774/snowdonia.jpg2020-07-01T10:15:00Explore,Summer1Summer in Snowdonia and #FindYourEpicWant to make memories that will last a lifetime?

Escape the humdrum after Christmas and get back to nature in this spectacular part of the UK!

This time, Julie talks us through the often-overlooked seaside <p><strong>Spotlight on Moelfre</strong></p> <p>Moelfre is a former fishing village on the North East coast of Anglesey, with a long maritime history. It's also situated on the Anglesey Coastal Path, so it's a great place for walking enthusiasts to base themselves. Spectacular views can be seen towards Penmon and Snowdonia and the Great Orme; I highly recommend standing at the top of the hill just above the beach on a sunny calm Saturday evening to soak up the view of the sea, with a few yachts moored in the bay...when it starts getting dark the lights start twinkling across the bay…..just lovely!! All in all, it's a pretty, picturesque village with a great sandy beach and is popular with people of all ages. I really miss living there!!</p> <p><img width="500" height="283" alt="Moelfre" src="/media/998280/Moelfre_500x283.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Beaches:</strong></p> <p>In the actual village itself there is a pebble beach, good access to the coastal path from there, where you can find a further 3 pebbly beaches, heading towards Lligwy. Also in the other direction towards Traeth Bychan there is Porth Yr Aber.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lligwybeach.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lligwy</a>&nbsp;is a great sandy beach and there are no dog restrictions here during the summer! This beach is very popular in the warmer summer months and so it does get busy. It's good for kite surfing when there's an easterly wind! Further away along the coastal path, and a trek down to the beach (but well worth it) is Traeth yr Ora, which translates into English as 'Golden Sands'. This is my favourite place of all time! There are good fishing spots along the path too, 'Swnt' just off the rocks is a good spot to catch some mackerel or even bass.</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Lligwy Beach" src="/media/998296/Lligwy-Beach_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p><em>(Lligwy Beach)</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Things to do:</strong>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> There was a new&nbsp;<a href="http://www.moelfrernli.com/" target="_blank">lifeboat station</a>&nbsp;constructed in 2015, but there has been a lifeboat here since the 1830s. We have the popular 'lifeboat day' every August, which is a bit like a carnival and well worth a visit! The lifeboats are out on display in the bay and carry out an exercise, usually with the rescue helicopter. There are craft stalls and the 'lifeboat queen' and her entourage, and visiting carnival queens from the surrounding villages are in attendance. There's even a disco for the children in the evening down on the beach. There's just a fantastic atmosphere that you can soak up and what's more, it raises money for the RNLI.</p> <p>Seawatch Centre, in the village, houses an older lifeboat and artefacts from the Royal Charter - a schooner that was on its way to Liverpool having been collecting gold from Australia is among them. It sank in an awful storm October 1859 and was laden with gold. There's also the Statue of the coxswain Dic Evans, famous for his bravery rescuing crew from two sinking ships - first the Hindlea in 1959 then the Nafsiporos. This was unveiled by Prince Charles in 2004!</p> <p><img width="498" height="330" alt="RNLI" src="/media/998288/RNLI_498x330.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Not far from Moelfre is an ancient village called&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Din_Lligwy" target="_blank">Din Lligwy</a>, where you'll find the remains of a Roman village from around the 4th Century. Also close by is the old Capel Lligwy, the remains of a 12th Century chapel. Further up the road is Cromlech Lligwy, a neolithic burial chamber with a huge cap stone. It was excavated in 1909 and found to have two separate burial groups.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Where to eat:</strong><strong><br /> </strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.annspantry.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ann's Pantry</a>&nbsp;is a great little café with mouth-wateringly good cakes, great tea and coffee and home cooked food made with local produce - they even allow dogs in the garden area. They are open all day in the summer, but it can quite busy there. They are also open in the evening Thursday - Sunday and it's advisable to book. They even have themed nights; tapas, French cuisine, Mexican delights, etc. Attached is a sweet gift shop, too.</p> <p><a href="https://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/pubs-inns-and-hotels/find-a-pub/k-n/kinmelarms" target="_blank">Kinmel Arms Pub</a>&nbsp;is right on the beach, with tables outside. Here you'll find great food, pleasantly big portions and a mean homemade chicken curry!</p> <p><a href="http://www.moelfre.org/coastal-cafe.htm" target="_blank">Coastal Cafe</a>&nbsp;is a traditional chippy that's very popular with the tourists and the locals, so there are often queues out the door in the summer. You can book a table and take your own wine/beer, which is a nice option to have!</p> <p><a href="http://www.moelfre.org/caban_laura.htm" target="_blank">Caban</a>&nbsp;is located on the beach car park, and is open for ice cream and snacks.</p> 00AdminContactContact notification <p>##CommenterName## has sent you a message...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Sender email: ##CommenterEmail##</p> <p>Sender website: ##CommenterWebsite##</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 0AdminCommentNotificationcontact-override@yourdomain.comreply-to-override@yourdomain.comComment notification <p>##CommenterName## has left a comment on the post <a href="##PostUrl##">##PostTitle##</a>...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>email:&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;##CommenterEmail##</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span><br /> </span></p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p style="color: grey; font-size: 10px;">If auto publishing of comments is not enabled, you need to log in to publish the comment.</p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 0CommentNotificationComment notification <p>Hi ##RecipientName##</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>##CommenterName## has left a comment on the post "##PostTitle##"...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p>Click <a href="##CommentUrl##">here</a> to view and reply.</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; color: lightgrey; padding-top: 0px; margin: top:0px;"> To unsubscribe from notifications click <a style="color: lightgrey; text-decoration: underline;" href="##UnsubscribeUrl##">here</a></p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 00/media/266485/andrew-jones-400x400.pngAndrew JonesAndrew JonesAndrew JonesHelping Cottage, Villa and Serviced Apt Agencies simplify & streamline operations to increase profit & productivity | Booking/Property Management | Channel Management | Vacation Rental Software | Automation <p><span class="lt-line-clamp__raw-line">iPro is a CRM based booking management solution for the travel industry, we specialise in the villa and cottage rental industry and the serviced accommodation market.<br /> <br /> Our CRM becomes the engine of your business, every iPro client utilises our software every single day.

Read all about its story here <p>South Stack is one of Wales' most visited and spectacular lighthouses, it's located about 2-3 miles west of Holyhead, on a tiny islet just off Holy Island on the North West tip of Anglesey.</p> <p>South Stack has been a warning beacon for passing ships since it's construction over 200 years ago, cautioning them of the deadly rocks below. The lighthouse helps guide shipping in the busy channel into the Mersey, and is a waymark for local seafarers, as well as for coastal traffic crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.</p> <p><img width="499" height="333" alt="South Stack 2" src="/media/998710/South-Stack-2_499x333.jpg"/></p> <p>As children a visit to the lighthouse was a beloved day-out, and known to us all as an 'MMT' (Magical Mystery Tour)! Whenever dad shouted-out that he was taking us on an MMT we were delighted, although not in the slightest bit surprised to end up at South Stack! It's still a place we love to go today, and the magic has never worn off. If not your personal No 1 Anglesey adventure, it's GOT to be in your top 5! Nowadays it offers even more than it once did - and a lot of that has to do with the RSPB's presence there.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The South Stack Lighthouse was built by Trinity House; a charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers. The Corporation of Trinity House has a long and illustrious history in the service of mariners. Nowadays it also provides education, as well as support and welfare, to the UK's seafaring community. They have a statutory duty, as a General Lighthouse Authority, "to deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective aids to navigational services for the benefit and safety of all mariners". The safety of shipping, and the wellbeing of seafarers, have been the prime concerns of Trinity House since being incorporated (by Royal Charter) by Henry VIII on the 20th of May, 1514.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Watch your step!</strong></p> <p>Nowadays the islet, separated from Holy Island Island by 30 metres of often turbulent seas and treacherous rocks, is reachable via a footbridge...oh and the 400 steps you need to climb down to get to there! &nbsp;However, this was not always the case. The coastline in this area, from the breakwater in Holyhead, around to the South-western shore, is made-up of large granite cliffs, with sheer drops of up to 60 metres, and fierce tide-races below!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Although the lighthouse's construction was completed in 1809, it was first envisaged in 1665, when a petition for a patent to build a lighthouse on the spot was presented to Charles II. The patent wasn't immediately granted though, and not until the 9th of February, 1809, did the first light appear to mark this rocky little island out as the lighthouse's setting. Not until 1828, eight years after the lighthouse was finished, was a bridge added!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Trinity House employee, Daniel Alexander, was the main surveyor and architect. Originally he had it fitted with Argand oil lamps and reflectors. Yet, in about 1840, a small railtrack was installed in order that a lantern, with an additional light, could be lowered down the cliff, to sea level, when fog had concealed the main beam above.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In his capacity as surveyor, Alexander built a number of lighthouses, including, the High Lighthouse at Harwich in 1818, and others at, Farne and Lundy Islands. &nbsp;His first major work was the improvement of the medieval bridge at Rochester. He was also the principal architect of Dartmoor and Maidstone Prisons, two of the oldest goals still in use. In 1799 he carried out a detailed survey of Rochester Cathedral, and recommended a programme of repairs. Alexander was also a surveyor with the London Dock Company, between 1796 and 183, and was responsible for all the buildings there during that time. Other works include Mote House near&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidstone" target="_blank">Maidstone</a>, built in the 1790s, repairs to Coley House near&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading,_Berkshire" target="_blank">Reading</a>, as well as &nbsp;extensions to&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inigo_Jones" target="_blank">Inigo Jones</a>' Queen's House (then the Royal Naval Asylum) in&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwich,_London" target="_blank">Greenwich, London</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Let there be Light</strong></p> <p>In the mid 1870s the lighthouse's lantern and lighting apparatus were replaced by newer machinery. Then, in 1909 (100 years after its construction) an early form of incandescent light was installed. This was replaced in 1927, by a more modern form of incandescent 'mantle burner'. The Lighthouse was properly electrified in 1938. It wasn't until 1983 that the lighthouse was automated, meaning that the last lighthouse keepers were withdrawn from the site. A necessary, yet &nbsp;somber day. From then on the lighthouse was, and still is, monitored and controlled automatically, from Trinity House's Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In 1983 the footbridge ,sadly, had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons - which I remember! &nbsp;However, in 1998 a new aluminium bridge was built, and once again the island was opened to the public; this is the bridge we can all still cross today. Until 1828, before the footbridge was added, the only means of crossing the deep-water channel to the island was via a wicker basket... suspended on a hempen cable! Yes, they had to brave the swirling seas below them in nothing more than a hamper-like container on a rope! Now, if you've ever walked across the footbridge, you'll know what a terrifying prospect that must have been - although I imagine those who did it were far braver than me! In 1859, during the horrendous storm that wrecked the 'Royal Charter' off Moelfre (some say it should be classed as a hurricane), one of the keepers was fatally hit on the head by a falling rock as he came on duty. Many of the keepers lived here with their families; I can only imagine what a panic the poor mother must have constantly been in, trying to keep tabs on the children! If you go on the 'Lighthouse Tour' you'll hear more about the domestic side of things on the islet - so, as I don't want to spoil things, i'll leave it at that for now!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>South Stack Lighthouse Facts</strong></p> <ul> <li>Height of Tower - 28 m/91 ft</li> <li>Height of light above Mean High Water- 60 m</li> <li>Automated - 1983</li> <li>Electrified - 1938</li> <li>Intensity - 467,000 candela</li> <li>Range of light - 28 &nbsp;NM</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;<img width="500" height="229" alt="South Stack 3" src="/media/998718/South-Stack-3_500x229.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Today's Lighthouse</strong></p> <p>With it's breathtaking views, and opportunities to see a plethora of seabirds, South Stack Lighthouse now welcomes thousands of visitors every year. Tickets can be purchased in the RSPB South Stack shop, next to the cafe, where there's a large car park. The cost is £5.80. Guided tours of the lighthouse are also available at certain times. The tour includes a visit to the engine room and exhibition area, before being able to climb up the spiral staircase to the top of the lighthouse! Tours of the South Stack Lighthouse are organised by the Isle of Anglesey County Council, under licence from the Corporation of Trinity House, with the RSPB selling tickets on the council's behalf. Take note, the bridge is closed every Friday.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As weather conditions can be variable, sometimes restricting access to the island, it's a good idea, in order avoid disappointment, to telephone or check the website before you visit. NB Don't forget to buy your tickets at the top BEFORE walking down the steps! Open from 10.30am until 5pm, with the last ticket sold at 4pm, and last entry at 4.30pm. You're advised to wear flat shoes, but not flipflops. Lighthouse Tours can cater for groups of up to 20 only. Be aware that at busy times there may be a delay of up to an hour. Also, there are no toilets on the island - and no dogs allowed either. Children are very welcome, but must be at least 1.1m in height. All visitors (including children) must be able to ascend and descend the stairs unaided.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Make a day of it</strong></p> <p>Other facilities in the immediate area include an&nbsp;<strong>RSPB visitor and information centre</strong>, including a cafe, picnic area, toilets, a viewing 'tower' with telescopes and binoculars etc, and guided walks. A full programme of educational, conservation and active pursuits are also available throughout the year - all organised by the RSPB. All profits go towards the cause.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The viewing part of the visitor's centre is called&nbsp;<strong>Elin's Tower</strong>. Elin's Tower (Tŵr Elin) is a squat,&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castellated" target="_blank">castellated</a>&nbsp;building located only a short walk from the parking area and cafe/shop. Built between 1820 and 1850 by the local, and well known&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stanley,_1st_Baron_Stanley_of_Alderley" target="_blank">Stanley family</a>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrhos,_Anglesey" target="_blank">Penrhos</a>, it was originally used as a&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_house" target="_blank">summer house</a>. Today it affords fabulous views of the surrounding cliffs and lighthouse. It's open daily from 10 am to 5 pm, from Easter to September, with free entry. Right on the cliff-edge, it's an amazing place to watch thousands of breeding seabirds! Here you can watch the gulls, choughs, fulmars, peregrine falcons, guillemots, puffins and razorbills (to name but a few) at your leisure, and can even view live action, via CCTV, of nesting birds on the cliffs. Between May and June is the best time to visit, when thousands of romantically-minded feathered couples congregate to mate and nest here! There is disabled and pushchair access to Elin's Tower.</p> <p><img width="497" height="325" alt="South Stack 4" src="/media/998694/South-Stack-4_497x325.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As stated before, there are over 400 stone steps down to the lighthouse island (not 365, as local legend would have it), and as you take each one, you can't help being moved by the awe-inspiring scenery and geology! If you visit during the Spring and Summer months, you'll also be able to enjoy the vast areas of headland, heathland and hilly interior that this part of the island has to offer, in all their glory. They &nbsp;become a riot of colour, with coconut-scented yellow gorse, bright-purple heather, and other glorious wildflowers that will, quite literally, wow you! Look closely and you might even see a basking adder, rabbits and hares running free, or beguiling butterflies! Look out to sea you may catch a glimpe frolocking seals, or the pods of porpoises and dolphins that often perform below!</p> <p>Numerous footpaths lead into this bracken-covered, wonderland. Why not hike 700ft to the top of&nbsp;<strong>Holyhead Mountain</strong>&nbsp;(Mynydd Twr), which takes about 45 minutes? If you don't have quite enough energy for this, a short stroll along a path that's opposite the car park will take you to an ancient settlement of stone roundhouses. The&nbsp;<a href="#" target="_blank" title="Anglesey Coastal Path">Anglesey Coastal Path</a>&nbsp;passes South Stack, as does the&nbsp;<strong>Cybi Circular Walk</strong>. The latter has both long and short variants; the shorter walk is 4 miles long and takes about two hours to complete. Sites along the way, as well as those mentioned previously, include the North Stack Fog Signal station, and Holyhead's Breakwater Park. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Follow the light!</strong></p> <p>On Anglesey, take the A55 dual carriageway from Bangor to Holyhead and then follow signs to Holyhead Town Centre, from where the lighthouse and RSPB reserve are signposted. You can also get there from Trearddur Bay - &nbsp;by following the coastal road around the bay towards Porth Dafarch and Porth-y-post, then heading North/NW.</p> <p>South Stack, Nr Holyhead, LL65 1YH</p> <p>Telephone: 01407 762100</p> <p>Email: south.stack@rspb.org.uk</p> <p>Website:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/seenature/reserves/guide/s/southstackcliffs/index.aspx" target="_blank">www.rspb.org.uk</a></p> <p>NB although the council has a website dedicated to the South Stack, it's never very up-to-date.

Don’t mind if I do!Our Book a Cook service can be the icing on the cake - find out more about the service and our talented chefs, Francois and Anastasia. <p>If you want the freedom of a private property but don't really want to be cooking for you and your guests, or if you want to celebrate a special occasion in the comfort of your holiday cottage, then a private chef is the ideal solution.</p> <p>Our talented chefs, Francois &amp; Anastasia come with a wealth of experience. Francois was personal chef to the Earl &amp; Countess of Arundel, and more recently ran his own private chef business on the Island of Islay before moving to Anglesey.&nbsp; Anastasia graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris before, happily for us, working her way across to North Wales!</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Francois And Ana 2" src="/media/997954/Francois-and-Ana-2_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: Who is this service for?</strong></p> <p>A: Anyone!&nbsp; It can be as formal or informal as the occasion commands it. From a romantic dinner for two to a large gathering of friends or family.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: What happens following a Book a Cook enquiry with Menai Holiday Cottages?</strong></p> <p>A: From the initial enquiry, Francois or Anastasia will telephone you to find out more about the occasion, likes and dislikes, dietary requirements and to discuss possible menus. They will then write three different menu options at three different prices for you to choose from. Once the menu is agreed, your booking is confirmed.&nbsp;<a href="#" target="_blank" title="Book a Cook">You can see samples of recent menus here.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: What to expect on the day?</strong></p> <p>A: On the day, your chef/s will aim to arrive at your cottage approximately an hour and a half before your meal is to be served.&nbsp; This allows them to make bread, canapés and all the necessary preparations for the meal.&nbsp; They will serve and clear each course, take care of the washing up and will leave the kitchen as it was found. We like to end the meal with a fine selection of Welsh cheeses or a plate of petits fours.</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Francois And Ana 3" src="/media/997925/Francois-and-Ana-3_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: Do you just cater for dinner?</strong></p> <p>A: Not at all! Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner….whatever you want.&nbsp; We can even offer a fully catered service so you literally don't have to think about a single meal during your stay.&nbsp; Alternatively, if you want something a little different - a BBQ by the beach, a seafood extravaganza complete with a masterclass on how to prepare a lobster or even an afternoon of foraging followed by supper using your finds - then please just ask.</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Food" src="/media/997946/Food_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>Q: How about payment?</strong></p> <p>A: If your booking is well in advance, we may ask for a 25% deposit to secure your chosen date.&nbsp; We usually take full payment on the night, just before or just after the party and this can be by way of card, cash or bank transfer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: Can I afford it?</strong></p> <p>A: Our chef's pricing structure is based on the better eating places in the area. There are no hidden costs.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Q: How do I make an enquiry?</strong></p> <p>A: In the first instance, please contact Judith Matthews: 01248 430258 or&nbsp;<a href="mailto:judith@menaiholidays.co.uk" target="_blank">judith@menaiholidays.co.uk</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 0‘My North Wales’This is the second post in our My North Wales' series. Luke from our Marketing team talks us through why he loves the region. <p><span>I am a born and bred "North-Walian"! My family have always lived on Anglesey, so you can say I have North Wales running through my veins. Apart from a short stint in the big city, I have lived in North Wales and specifically Anglesey my whole life. My childhood memories consist of days out at the beach and jumping into the sea at any beach fully clothed (much to the annoyance of my mother!) Although, I have been known to do this recently as well…</span></p> <p><span><img width="500" height="669" alt="Luke 2" src="/media/995428/Luke-2_500x669.jpg"/></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span>I also remember fondly picking blackberries on the farm I lived on briefly, playing sports in the local fields with my friends and then popping down to the local circus &amp; fair on Newry Beach during the summer to finish off the day and also taking walks up the mountain (it's really a hill) to take in the spectacular views. Great memories! In my teenage years, me and my friends used to love a trip to the beaches across Anglesey, after school of course...!&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/penrhos-beach.htm" target="_blank">Penrhos Beach</a><span>, private beach at Penrhos Nature Reserve,&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/porth-dafarch.htm" target="_blank">Porth Dafarch beach</a><span>,&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/trearddur-bay.htm" target="_blank">Trearddur Bay</a><span>&nbsp;and&nbsp;</span> <a href="http://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/north-wales/anglesey/llanddwyn-beach.htm" target="_blank">Newborough</a><span>&nbsp;(pictured below) to name a few.

Well my response would be… "why not?" &nbsp;North Wales has so much to offer, sometimes you just have to make the effort to find it. I would love to share with you some of the reasons why I love North Wales.</p> <p>First of all the Scenery. No matter which part of North Wales you go to, there is always a fantastic view of the sea, rolling mountains or a quaint village or town to enjoy. Just look below, you don't get to enjoy views like this on your average lunch break!</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Menai Straits View" src="/media/995396/Menai-straits-view_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p>For those of you who love a bit of adventure, North Wales is now leading the way in outdoor activities in the UK.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.zipworld.co.uk/" target="_blank">Zip World</a>,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.zipworld.co.uk/adventure/detail/bounce-below" target="_blank">Bounce Below</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://surfsnowdonia.co.uk/" target="_blank">Surf Snowdonia</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;to name a few are all must do's.

I am a real foody and fancy myself as a bit of a "Masterchef Champion in waiting". North Wales has seen an influx of fantastic restaurants over the last couple of years! I recently went to<a href="http://www.sosbanandtheoldbutchers.com/" target="_blank">The Sosban and The Old Butchers</a>&nbsp;in Menai Bridge for my birthday meal, one word…WOW! No Menu, no expectations and I was blown away by the food and the cost of the tasting menu, a Michelin star would not go a miss!

I checked my plant pots the other day and beneath the brave little winter pansies, you can see the beginnings of shoots and the promise of some colour in the next few weeks. Before you know it, Spring will have sprung. I can safely say that this is one of my favourite times of year. Growing up, we didn't have any extraordinary traditions over the Easter weekend, other than a small egg hunt, sitting down to roast lamb as a family and chocolate eggs, but it always felt like a special day. It felt more peaceful than other holidays and we had a fabulous long weekend to look forward to as a family. My green fingered parents would be full steam ahead in the garden and it was usually the first time you could play outside without a jacket on. Twenty years on and there seems to be a lot more on offer in North Wales than a roast dinner and some gardening!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="333" alt="Easter 2" src="/media/995914/Easter-2_500x333.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The month of March sees spring in full bloom and for those of you looking to book an <a href="#" target="_blank" title="Easter Cottages">Easter break in a North Wales holiday cottage</a>&nbsp;there is a lot to look forward to. Here are my top 10 Eggstravagant Easter Activities and fun for all the family around the region -</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/539936446165720/" target="_blank">1. The Abersoch Welsh Spring Festival</a><br /> <br /> This event will take place just after St. David's Day, over the weekend of 4th - 6th March and will celebrate the start of Spring and all things Welsh. It is a new event for 2016. Planned activities include a vintage car rally, a village carnival, an evening of Welsh influenced music, local artisan market and activities for children including face painting and games. There will also be the opportunity to look back at village history and learn a little more about the local area.<br /> <br /> The National Trust knows how to put on a good show at Easter. They have teamed up with<br /> <br /> Cadbury's to offer some quality egg hunts at their properties. Egg Hunts seem to abound in the region this year. Here are some of the best - &nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/382fc7c0-59b4-4d42-9108-97bda7334967/pages/details" target="_blank">2. Plas Newydd Egg Rolling Race</a><br /> <br /> This stunning stately home on the Menai Straits offers some great egg based activities and the gardens come in to their own at this time of year. Join the hunt to find clues hidden by the Easter Bunny that will lead you to a chocolate prize. You can even take part in their famous Easter Sunday "Egg Rolling Race." The event will run from 25th - 28th March 2016. Daily from 11.00 - 15.30.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/bfc48dbc-9d38-4bed-b742-2604073ca254/pages/details" target="_blank">3. Porth y Swnt egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> I love a drive to the end of the Llyn and the village of Aberdaron. Porth y Swnt, the National Trust Centre, will be running an Easter Egg Hunt around this beautiful fishing village. Explore the village to find the clues that lead to the chocolate. From February of this year, Porth y Swnt will be taking on the "50 Fun Things to do before you're 11 and 3/4." Pick up your 50 things scrapbook and join in with an afternoon of activity on selected dates throughout the spring and summer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="334" alt="Easter 3" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995877/Easter-3_500x334.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/events/55a06794-8a1f-4e2a-b97c-1ce2a88b234e/pages/details" target="_blank">4. Beddgelert Easter egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> My children love the story of Gelert and the wolf and so a trip to Snowdonia could be just the ticket over Easter weekend. Look out for the Easter Egg Hunt at Craflwyn and Beddgelert. &nbsp;Families have the opportunity to go out and explore the wonderful views, wildlife and habitats that make the area so special. Follow in the footsteps of legends around Beddgelert as you join hunt. Start off at Ty Isaf and see where the journey takes you. 25th - 28th March 2016 Daily from 11.00 - 17.00</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/plas-yn-rhiw/whats-on-" target="_blank">5. Plas yn Rhiw's Egg-cellent fun</a><br /> <br /> I love the pretty gardens at Plas yn Rhiw and they come in to their element in the spring. The house will also be joining in the fun over Easter weekend. Follow the trail through this stunning garden perched high above Cardigan Bay, to claim your chocolate Egghead. 26th and 27th March 2016 from 11.00 - 16.00</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://bala-lake-railway.co.uk/events/2016.html#easter" target="_blank">6. Bala Lake Railway egg hunt</a><br /> <br /> Everyone knows that my family and I love a trip on a steam train. If you do too then look out for the Bala Lake Railway Easter Egg Hunt. Can you find all the Easter Eggs that the White Rabbit has hidden around the railway? There are 15 to find in total. It's great fun, and takes place on every train from Good Friday to Easter Monday for no extra cost other than the usual fare. You'll also get to enjoy a lovely train ride through the beautiful countryside of southern Snowdonia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="495" height="235" alt="Bala Egg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995901/Bala-egg_495x235.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.talyllyn.co.uk/easter-bunny" target="_blank">7. Easter fun at Talyllyn Railway</a><br /> <br /> There is fun for the family as the Easter Bunny visits Tywyn Wharf station. He'll be greeting children and waving off the trains all day. You can join the Easter Egg hunt with a special prize for the winner. &nbsp;The steam trains are running all day, with five return trips from Tywyn Wharf, you can take the train on a fun filled journey to Dolgoch Falls or Nant Gwernol. Trains stop at Abergynolwyn for refreshments, home of the Railway Adventure Playground. There are no extra charges for this event either which is fab!<br /> <br /> Both Greenwood Forest Park and the Welsh Mountain Zoo are also offering Easter Eggstravaganzas and fun for all over the Easter break.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.conwybeekeepers.org.uk/fairs-festivals/" target="_blank">8. Conwy Seed Fair</a><br /> <br /> If searching for eggs isn't your thing, there are some lovely events on offer of the non-chocolatey variety. Coming from someone who is currently landscaping the garden, I'm looking forward to Conwy Seed Fair, a 700 year old Royal charter fair, founded by Edward 1st and held in Conwy High Street and Lancaster Square every 26th March. They have been given a special dispensation to run the event on Friday 1st April to avoid the Easter Sunday traffic. Look out for plant and seed stalls, local crafts, local produce, honey from local beekeepers and home produce. The fair will run from 09.00 - 16.00.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.lovetywyn.com/easter-street-fair.html" target="_blank">9. Tywyn's Easter Street Fair</a><br /> <br /> You can't beat a good market and Tywyn's Easter Street Fair&nbsp;is just that. It is an annual street market which takes place on Easter Monday in the town centre. The market stalls return every Monday from May to October on the market field behind the Corbett Arms Hotel. It is a lovely tripout for all the family with some great things on offer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Tywyn Easter" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/media/995893/Tywyn-easter_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="http://www.angleseyartsforum.org/" target="_blank">10. Angl</a><a href="http://www.angleseyartsforum.org/" target="_blank">esey Arts Week</a><br /> <br /> And finally for those of you who fancy something a little more artistic than egg painting, Anglesey artists throw open their doors from 19th March to 3rd April this year for the twelfth annual Anglesey Arts Week. Last year saw over 15,000 make their way to the island for the event. This year during the Open Studios and Galleries Weeks, 60 painters, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, printmakers, installation artists and craft workers open their studios to visitors, or exhibit in one of the participating galleries. Venues include studios, chapels, barns, sheds, galleries and artists' homes. You have the chance to meet and talk with the artist and see their work. You could always combine this with a stay on the Island. We have some fantastic Anglesey cottages to choose from and many more for those fancying something on the Llyn or in the mountains.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 08510/media/1017774/snowdonia.jpg2020-07-01T10:15:00Explore,Summer1Summer in Snowdonia and #FindYourEpicWant to make memories that will last a lifetime?

Escape the humdrum after Christmas and get back to nature in this spectacular part of the UK!

This time, Julie talks us through the often-overlooked seaside <p><strong>Spotlight on Moelfre</strong></p> <p>Moelfre is a former fishing village on the North East coast of Anglesey, with a long maritime history. It's also situated on the Anglesey Coastal Path, so it's a great place for walking enthusiasts to base themselves. Spectacular views can be seen towards Penmon and Snowdonia and the Great Orme; I highly recommend standing at the top of the hill just above the beach on a sunny calm Saturday evening to soak up the view of the sea, with a few yachts moored in the bay...when it starts getting dark the lights start twinkling across the bay…..just lovely!! All in all, it's a pretty, picturesque village with a great sandy beach and is popular with people of all ages. I really miss living there!!</p> <p><img width="500" height="283" alt="Moelfre" src="/media/998280/Moelfre_500x283.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Beaches:</strong></p> <p>In the actual village itself there is a pebble beach, good access to the coastal path from there, where you can find a further 3 pebbly beaches, heading towards Lligwy. Also in the other direction towards Traeth Bychan there is Porth Yr Aber.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lligwybeach.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lligwy</a>&nbsp;is a great sandy beach and there are no dog restrictions here during the summer! This beach is very popular in the warmer summer months and so it does get busy. It's good for kite surfing when there's an easterly wind! Further away along the coastal path, and a trek down to the beach (but well worth it) is Traeth yr Ora, which translates into English as 'Golden Sands'. This is my favourite place of all time! There are good fishing spots along the path too, 'Swnt' just off the rocks is a good spot to catch some mackerel or even bass.</p> <p><img width="500" height="375" alt="Lligwy Beach" src="/media/998296/Lligwy-Beach_500x375.jpg"/></p> <p><em>(Lligwy Beach)</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Things to do:</strong>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> There was a new&nbsp;<a href="http://www.moelfrernli.com/" target="_blank">lifeboat station</a>&nbsp;constructed in 2015, but there has been a lifeboat here since the 1830s. We have the popular 'lifeboat day' every August, which is a bit like a carnival and well worth a visit! The lifeboats are out on display in the bay and carry out an exercise, usually with the rescue helicopter. There are craft stalls and the 'lifeboat queen' and her entourage, and visiting carnival queens from the surrounding villages are in attendance. There's even a disco for the children in the evening down on the beach. There's just a fantastic atmosphere that you can soak up and what's more, it raises money for the RNLI.</p> <p>Seawatch Centre, in the village, houses an older lifeboat and artefacts from the Royal Charter - a schooner that was on its way to Liverpool having been collecting gold from Australia is among them. It sank in an awful storm October 1859 and was laden with gold. There's also the Statue of the coxswain Dic Evans, famous for his bravery rescuing crew from two sinking ships - first the Hindlea in 1959 then the Nafsiporos. This was unveiled by Prince Charles in 2004!</p> <p><img width="498" height="330" alt="RNLI" src="/media/998288/RNLI_498x330.jpg"/></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Not far from Moelfre is an ancient village called&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Din_Lligwy" target="_blank">Din Lligwy</a>, where you'll find the remains of a Roman village from around the 4th Century. Also close by is the old Capel Lligwy, the remains of a 12th Century chapel. Further up the road is Cromlech Lligwy, a neolithic burial chamber with a huge cap stone. It was excavated in 1909 and found to have two separate burial groups.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Where to eat:</strong><strong><br /> </strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.annspantry.co.uk/" target="_blank">Ann's Pantry</a>&nbsp;is a great little café with mouth-wateringly good cakes, great tea and coffee and home cooked food made with local produce - they even allow dogs in the garden area. They are open all day in the summer, but it can quite busy there. They are also open in the evening Thursday - Sunday and it's advisable to book. They even have themed nights; tapas, French cuisine, Mexican delights, etc. Attached is a sweet gift shop, too.</p> <p><a href="https://www.robinsonsbrewery.com/pubs-inns-and-hotels/find-a-pub/k-n/kinmelarms" target="_blank">Kinmel Arms Pub</a>&nbsp;is right on the beach, with tables outside. Here you'll find great food, pleasantly big portions and a mean homemade chicken curry!</p> <p><a href="http://www.moelfre.org/coastal-cafe.htm" target="_blank">Coastal Cafe</a>&nbsp;is a traditional chippy that's very popular with the tourists and the locals, so there are often queues out the door in the summer. You can book a table and take your own wine/beer, which is a nice option to have!</p> <p><a href="http://www.moelfre.org/caban_laura.htm" target="_blank">Caban</a>&nbsp;is located on the beach car park, and is open for ice cream and snacks.</p> 00AdminContactContact notification <p>##CommenterName## has sent you a message...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Sender email: ##CommenterEmail##</p> <p>Sender website: ##CommenterWebsite##</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 0AdminCommentNotificationcontact-override@yourdomain.comreply-to-override@yourdomain.comComment notification <p>##CommenterName## has left a comment on the post <a href="##PostUrl##">##PostTitle##</a>...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>email:&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;##CommenterEmail##</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span><br /> </span></p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p style="color: grey; font-size: 10px;">If auto publishing of comments is not enabled, you need to log in to publish the comment.</p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 0CommentNotificationComment notification <p>Hi ##RecipientName##</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>##CommenterName## has left a comment on the post "##PostTitle##"...</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey; border-bottom: 1px dotted lightgrey; padding: 10px 0px;"> <span>"</span>##CommentBody##<span>"</span></p> <p>Click <a href="##CommentUrl##">here</a> to view and reply.</p> <p style="border-top: 1px dotted lightgrey;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="font-size: 11px; color: lightgrey; padding-top: 0px; margin: top:0px;"> To unsubscribe from notifications click <a style="color: lightgrey; text-decoration: underline;" href="##UnsubscribeUrl##">here</a></p> <p style="color: lightgrey; font-size: 10px; float: right;">Powered by uBlogsy and Umbraco</p> 00/media/266485/andrew-jones-400x400.pngAndrew JonesAndrew JonesAndrew JonesHelping Cottage, Villa and Serviced Apt Agencies simplify & streamline operations to increase profit & productivity | Booking/Property Management | Channel Management | Vacation Rental Software | Automation <p><span class="lt-line-clamp__raw-line">iPro is a CRM based booking management solution for the travel industry, we specialise in the villa and cottage rental industry and the serviced accommodation market.<br /> <br /> Our CRM becomes the engine of your business, every iPro client utilises our software every single day.
