If you are holidaying on a budget, then you will find that there are plenty of free things to do on Anglesey for people of all ages. Irrespective of whether you are 5, 15, 50 or 80, you are sure to find things to do in Anglesey for free that will help you to fill up your time away on the island.

We’ve used our knowledge of the region to put together a list of the best free things to do on Anglesey so that you can arrive on your next trip to the island with a clear idea of what you are going to be doing and where you are going to be doing it.

Let’s start off with one that is available right on the doorstep of Silver Bay Holiday Park…

1. Seaside Day Out
One of the reasons why so many people have opted to become holiday home owners on Anglesey at Silver Bay Holiday Park is the close proximity to the beach which is directly accessible from our resort.

You’ll be able to take the short walk over to the beach from your holiday home each morning, safe in the knowledge that your holiday home and all of your belongings are never more than just a few minutes away. That reduces any anxiety you might have about forgetting to pack something for your day out and also means that you can quickly head off to make lunch or get a change of clothes if you’ve been brave enough to head into the sea.

Silver Bay beach is the perfect destination for those traditional British days out at the seaside with its soft sands, clean waters and nearby facilities. On a hot sunny day, you can sunbathe, go for a paddle or build a sandcastle with your family members and feel one million miles away from the stresses you face in everyday life.

2. Go for a Walk
The famous Anglesey Coastal Path is also directly accessible from Silver Bay Holiday Park. Covering a total distance of 135 miles, this isn’t a walking route that you are going to conquer in one day. However, you can explore different parts of it each time you come to visit, giving you new vantage points to admire on every walk.

There are plenty of great walking routes to be enjoyed from Silver Bay Beach. One option is a 3.7km circular walk which takes you from Silver Bay Beach to Traeth Borthwen and back again.

If you fancy a bit more of a challenge, then you may want to walk towards Borthwen Beach and then head on towards the iconic St. Gwenfaen’s Church which was constructed way back in 650 AD. Once you have completed the return leg of the journey back to Silver Bay, this walk will cover a good 6 km in length so is slightly more taxing if you aren’t used to walking large distances.

3. Bird Watching
Animal lovers are sure to love a trip to Elin’s Tower which is located 2.5 miles west of the port town of Holyhead. Built between 1820 and 1850, this iconic Victorian building was originally used as a summer house for the Stanley family before being turned into a coastal observation tower during the two world wars.

It has subsequently acted as a visitor information centre for the South Stack Cliffs RSPB Nature Reserve in which it is situated. During the Spring and Summer months, Elin’s Tower is the perfect place in which to spot the thousands of seabirds who migrate to the island. You can expect to observe puffins, razorbills, guillemots and much more.

Alternatively, you may want to head to The Dingle Nature Reserve in Llangefni which is made up of 25 acres of woodland. Here you will be able to observe woodland birds throughout the year, with the likes of blue tits, wrens, grey wagtails, buzzards and heron.

4. See the Sea Life
Remaining on the topic of wildlife, animal lovers have another treat in store for them at Penmon Point. This is a fantastic vantage point from which to enjoy iconic Welsh landmarks, with the mountains of Snowdonia notable on the right, the iconic Trwyn Du Lighthouse to the left and Puffin Island directly across from you.

However, the real star attraction here are the seals and dolphins who inhabit the waters around Puffin Island. If you manage to make your way across to Puffin Island itself, then you may also see the harbor porpoises who tend to take up station on the shore during the summer months.

5. Take in the History
If you are a holiday home owner at Woodland Falls, then you may already be aware that the area in which the park is located is entrenched in history having been the site of a Roman settlement during the 3rd and 4th centuries. You can survey the remains of the village at
Din Lligwy where you will find the remains of two round huts and several other rectangular buildings, all of which were once encircled by a stone wall. This is also visible from the remains and is sure to be of interest to any history buffs amongst you.

Another historic landmark in Lligwy is the Lligwy Burial Chamber which stems from the Neolithic era. Excavations in the early 20th century found the remains of up to 30 people here along with fragments of pottery from the era.
