Walk Instructions
A walk directly from the property using
quiet lanes.
Start/car parking - HPB Henllys
1. Leaving Henllys driveway turn left and then right at
the T-junction.
The disused factory on the left converted and maintained
Catalina flying Boats during the Second World War, and
later was used by Lairds of Anglesey, manufacturers of
refuse vehicles.
2. Turn right at the T-junction heading along the road to
Beaumaris, with the Menai Straits and Snowdonia to the
left. This is part of the Anglesey coastal path. After about
400 yds the path leaves the road through a gate and into
a field. Walk across the field following the path near the
left boundary. Admire the views of the castle and town.
3. Exit the field at a gate and continue along the
promenade. Exit the parking area but continue in the
same direction heading for the pier.
There is a stone circle on the right followed by a
panorama information board.
Turn left at the RNLI shop and go on to the pier.
4. Retrace your steps past the RNLI shop to reach a
road and turn right. After a fine large building turn left
signposted Courthouse. The Courthouse is on the right on
reaching the main road (Castle Street). The Courthouse
was built in 1614 and the original dock and the jury room
can be seen.
Opposite the Courthouse is Beaumaris castle, built
in 1295, a castle with classic proportions and perfect
symmetry built by Edward I.
5. As one leaves the exit from the castle, go straight
ahead along the main street, Castle St, for shops and
coffee! Opposite Alma Street (on the left) turn right
signposted Gaol. Take the third left along Bunker’s Hill to
visit the Gaol.
This was built in 1829 by Hansom, famous for the
Hansom Cab.
The Gaol features the only working tread wheel in Britain.
6. On leaving the Gaol turn right and then left. Soon
on the right is a black metal gate in a wall. Enter the
churchyard of St. Mary’s and St. Nicholas’s church here
and turn to the right to reach the East Door. In the porch
is the Tomb of Joan, consort of Llewlyn ap Iorwerth.
The church was built in the 14th century, soon after the
castle, and inside are interesting carvings.
7. Continue round the churchyard passing the war
memorial. Leave the churchyard here and turn left on to
Church Street. Turn right up Henllys Lane (stonewalls on
either side of the road) for about half a mile to return to
Henllys.
