Isle of Anglesey car rentals

Many of the sites you will want to visit on Anglesey are out of the way and quite distant from each other, so you will need a car. It has some really important archaeological sites, like South Stack Hut Circles on Holy Island, a smaller island in the Irish sea, adjacent to Anglesey and the location of the town Holyhead. It’s connected to the larger island by a bridge. It comprises an iron-age settlement that is scattered along the base of Holyhead mountain and is hugely significant to historians. You’ll also need a car to drive along the small winding roads to the other side of Anglesey for Parys Mountain Roman Iron Mines. With its amazing natural colours, the crater of this former mountain is captivating. Other natural sites include the cliffs along the coastline, the caves and agris-tourism and lakes farther inland, making hiring a car a wise choice for the motivated traveller.

The roads on Anglesey are good quality, and once you come off the main A55 to Holyhead, you will find they are much quieter with traffic, too. As you get closer to the coast, you will see the roads become narrower and more winding. A larger car would be ideal for these roads and give you much better visibility over high hedges, of which there are many. There are no toll roads on Anglesey.
