We set off early and arrived at Trearddur Bay at around 8.15am, parked the car and had a quick look around before catching the number 4 bus into Holyhead and picking up the coast path once again. It was a hot day and there were a few hilly bits to tackle on the first part of the walk. We made our way around the harbour and then onto Breakwater Country Park before heading up towards Holyhead Mountain. I was not sure how the path was going to be across this section, there were a few hilly parts but we did not climb to the summit, more crept around the outskirts. Still climbing quite high though, which felt harder in the heat. The second half of the walk from South Stack lighthouse to Trearddur Bay was more flat than the first half with just a few small gradients here and there. It was also scenic following the rocky coastline, some breathtaking views to be seen on this section of the coast path. This section took us the longest to complete so far, due to it being a hot day, we took plenty of rest breaks and drank the most water on any of our walks. 

Starting at St Cybi’s Church grounds ///deflect.warnings.paramedic where there is a plaque marking the official start/end point of the Anglesey Coast Path. Inside the grounds on the path, face the church and turn right heading to the arch leading out onto a car park. ///bulbs.branching.venturing Continue straight ahead across the car park picking up Swift Square (The access road for the car park), at the junction turn right onto Boston Street ///grab.masks.stall Follow Boston Street down to the bottom and turn left onto the A5154 Victoria street.

THE SIGNS WERE MISSING THROUGH THIS NEXT SECTION SO I'M NOT SURE OF THE OFFICIAL ROUTE. As you head up from North Stack you need to head over towards South Stack you will need to head up but not up the bigger hill (The summit) we bear right and head up and over keeping as near to the coast on the larger pathways until you eventually make your way around to North Stack lighthouse. where you find a small access road and little car parking areas. Once you reach the road, turn left ///sigh.birthdays.clenching A short way along and you turn right taking the path leading down towards a white castle turret like tower. ///wound.grin.lifelong Head down to Elins tower. ///muddle.daunted.second Make your way around the back of the tower and head left taking the smaller path alongside the top of the cliffs.

Pass through the car park and turn right onto the road once again. ///mime.lifelong.digesting Follow the lane (South Stack Road) all the way down to the end.
