Getting to GeoMôn UNESCO Global Geopark
Getting to GeoMôn UNESCO Global Geopark, Anglesey is very easy to reach :

Fly
There is currently no way to fly to Anglesey
Train
There are mainline trains from all over the UK via Chester then along the scenic North Wales coast via Llandudno junction and Bangor with great views of Anglesey after you leave Conwy. They cross the Menai Strait on Stephenson’s magnificent Britannia Bridge, constructed from Carboniferous limestone quarried at Penmon. Express trains stop only at Bangor and Holyhead but local trains stop at several stations, including Llanfair PG, Bodorgan, Ty Croes, Rhosneigr, Valley – view rail details and timetables.

Bus
Buses run from Bangor across Telford’s Menai Bridge, again constructed from Carboniferous limestone quarried at Penmon to Porth Aethwy (Menai Bridge town) from where there is a network of local buses on Anglesey – view bus details and timetables.

Coach
National Express coaches from many locations across the UK drop off and pick up at the ferry terminal in Holyhead.
Ferry
Holyhead is the major port for crossing from the UK to the Republic of Ireland. Ferries are operated by Stena Line and Irish Ferries to Dublin

Car
Getting to GeoMôn UNESCO Global Geopark Anglesey by car is easy; either by the scenic route through Snowdonia via the A5 [built as the main highway from London to the Irish ferry crossing at Holyhead] from the English border near Shrewsbury, or the A55 dual carriageway along the north coast from near Chester, both roads meet just outside Bangor and give two options to cross the Menai Strait, the original road crossing on Menai Bridge or the upper deck of the Britannia Bridge constructed after the disastrous fire destroyed Stephenson’s tubular railway bridge.
Traffic Wales has several webcams on the A55 including the Britannia Bridge
Cycle
The National Cycle Network Route 5 runs right along the North Wales coast, crosses the iconic Menai Bridge and runs across the middle of Anglesey to Holyhead.
There are several cycle routes around Anglesey including
Lon Las Copr which visits several GeoMôn sites and has GeoMôn information on its boards. Please note that this circular trail is not part of the National Cycle Network. Along the Lôn Las Copr, you may spot Swtan, the island’s last surviving thatched cottage. Llynnon Mill, the only working windmill in Wales, and the “Copper Kingdom” at Parys Mountain are other spots of interest. The trail also reaches Cemlyn Nature Reserve, where you’ll find a large lagoon separated from the sea by a spectacular, naturally-created shingle ridge. This reserve is home to a wealth of birds, wildflowers and marine creatures making it a delightful place to visit all year round.
