Things to see and do Holyhead (Caergybi)

Overlooking the beach, this former restaurant has been a museum since 1995. It shows models of ships and photographs relating to the city's maritime past. In particular, about the 1,000 or so shipwrecks that have occurred in the surrounding area. The museum also retraces, through panels and artefacts, the history of the site since its occupation by the Romans. It has also taken advantage of its location, ideal for creating a pleasant terrace from which one can contemplate the sea while having a drink on a sunny day.

Once you reach the lighthouse (Ynys Lawd in Welsh), the first thing you do is feel like you are at the end of the world, looking out over the Irish Sea. It is then possible to explore the interior of the building: visit the engine room, climb the lighthouse... One room has been converted into a didactic museum, which provides information on the island's fauna, flora and geology. Images of seabirds, taken by a camera fixed on a cliff on the island, are broadcast. It is also the occasion for a nice walk around the lighthouse, even if it is closed.
