Overview
The Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Mon) is situated off the North West coast of Wales near the beautiful Snowdonia mountain range. It is separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait. Anglesey has a dedicated coastal path running around the whole island. The cliffs have been shaped by the bracing Irish Sea, and the Isle is the new kid on the block as far as outdoor destinations go. One of the best 10K courses in The Series.
