we made a sunny afternoon visit and were amazed by the stunning scenery, the many nesting sea birds, the beautiful lighthouse and had close up entertainment watching a helicopter from RAF Valley practising cliff rescue techniques . Parking was easy and free and we will return on our next visit to Anglesey. More

Wasn't really sure of what to expect, but was very pleasantly surprised. Outstanding views and a chance to see first hand the important work the RSPB do to protect birds and their habitats. Nice little visitor centre (lovely tea and cakes) very informative RSPB staff who were able to give us an incite into the work they do. My Siter-in-law... More

One of my favourite places in the world! If you are keen on birds it is fascinating, especially in April, May and June. If you are keen on climbing it is close to paradise, and if you want to see Ireland but haven't got the time to go there you can the Wicklow Mountains on clear days. More

We were lucky enough to visit on a really sunny day! The drive into Anglesey, as others have put, isn't particularly great, however when you arrive at the car park it changes into stunning scenery. We went into the visitors centre and its really good, with telescopes set up onto the cliffs and staff around who are more than helpful... More

Walked from the 'lower' car-park over rough tracks in the gorse/heather, which was enjoyable. 'Birders' were everywhere and some pointed out (and identified for us) some less common visitors - peregrine hunting the cliffs area, anyone ? Some stopping-points on the way, and even a couple of seats, but an easier walk from the top car-park by the cafe, if... More

We visited on a sunny afternoon in April and had excellent views of the cliff and lighthouse. On our visit there were few birds around but it was well worth a visit anyway. There is a free car park from which you can walk to Ellins Tower (also reviewed) and the cliff side viewpoint itself. Be mindful there are no... More
