Your guide to Llangefni, Wales from Cheap Hotels Ltd.
Llangefni is the county town of Anglesey, an island off Wales, and is the largest town on the island. It is the heart of the island and still serves as the market town, just as it has done for centuries. Each Thursday and Saturday, you can browse the selections available in the many stalls, which include fresh vegetables and crafts of all kinds. There are several hotels in Llangefni for you to choose from for your accommodations.
One of the best choices in walking is to take the pathway from the parish church, St. Cyngar’s to the restored area of Dingle. This walk will provide you with some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Wales. Oriel Mon is an art gallery just a few minutes outside of town. Here you can see the Tunnecliffe collection as well as exhibitions by local artists. Displays at this museum also provide details of the history of the island.
Plas Newydd is only 6 miles away in Llanfairpwllgwyngll. This is the traditional home of the Marquis of Anglesay from which you have a commanding view of Snowdonia. There are also extensive gardens that are open all year long for everyone to enjoy. The Anglesey Sea Zoo, which is also in the same town, is the largest zoo in Wales. Children will enjoy seeing the more than 150 marine species that include sea horses, octopuses and sharks. Along with these sights, the zoo is located along the banks of Menai Strait and you have an excellent view of Snowdonia National Park.
Other attractions within a ten mile radius of Llangefni include Caernarfon Castle, built in the 12th century and the Segontium Roman Fort that dates back to the 1st century. Once you taste the fine cooking in the restaurants of Llangefni, you will be hooked and keep coming back for more year after year.
