Teaeth Ligwy is a beautifully delightfully spacious, sheltered, unspoilt beach bordered by low sand dunes and cliffs on the north-east coast of Anglesey. Soft sand shelves gently to the sea, offering plenty of room for bathing. The circular walk starts in the pretty former fishing village of Moelfre, where it joins the coastal cliff path, passing memorials to the Hindlea and Royal Charter shipwrecks. The return route takes in Din Lligwy a 4th-century settlement, as well as an impressive Neolithic burial chamber.<\/p>\n\n

1. START <\/h5>\n\n

At the car park, go past the toilet block and cross the road to a path left of the bus shelter. Pass Ann\u2019s Pantry and, at a road, go left above Moelfre\u2019s small beach to walk uphill. At a left bend, bear right along the coast path, passing the Seawatch Centre and sculpture of Dic Evans, coxswain of the Hindlea rescue in 1959. Beyond the lifeboat Hindlea follow a path to the station and a small beach, memorial seat at the end of the headland. Continuing along the coast, you emerge in a caravan park before descending to Porth Helaeth beach. <\/p>\n\n

2. 1 MILE<\/h5>\n\n

The path rises, passing a stone stile giving access to the Royal Charter monument. More than 450 people lost their lives when the steamship, returning from Australia with a substantial cargo of gold, sank in a hurricane nearby in 1859. As you continue along the cliffs, look out to sea to watch for porpoises. Further on, the coast path takes a track slightly inland, past houses, before running directly above Traeth Lligwy. The easiest way to get down to the beach for a dip is just before the coast path reaches the car park. The sea comes in quickly, so be aware of the tide times and avoid the sinking sand at the far western end of the beach.  <\/p>\n\n

3. 2.1 MILES <\/h5>\n\n

From Traeth Lligwy, follow the lane ahead and  go over a crossroads. Take a kissing gate on the right for Din Lligwy and walk through fields and a small  wood. Here lie the remains of roundhouses and workshops occupied by a local chieftain in the  Roman era. Returning to  the lane, bear right to find the Neolithic burial  chamber on your right and,  further on, go through a kissing gate on your left. <\/p>\n\n

4. 3.5 MILES <\/h5>\n\n

Follow the right side of  the field to a gate in the far corner then continue with a fence on your left. Take  the next kissing gate on the left and slant uphill to  another one. Go over the  hill and, at the field\u2019s left corner, bear left downhill to a kissing gate at buildings. Soon, go right through a gate and along an access  track. Pass a school and  bear right to return to the starting point.<\/p>\n\n
