Day Stage three is 90 miles and takes in two-thirds of the Isle of Anglesey. The Walk will pass through Beaumaris with its rich Georgian architecture before heading along the coast where you’ll enjoy superb views of the Carneddau mountains across the Menai Strait.

At Penmon Point you’ll see Puffin Island, a protected habitat because of its large cormorant population (but no puffins!). This stretch has fantastic coastal views throughout, and includes the picture-postcard village of Moelfre, the popular beach of Traeth Lligwy and little visited beach of Traeth yr Ora. The path passes by the memorial to those lost in the 1859 Royal Charter and 1959 Hindlea shipwreck disasters. From the historic copper port at Amlwch the path leads to low rocky cliffs and the spectacular bays of Porth Llechog (Bull Bay) and Porthwen before passing the remote Llanbadrig church and entering the coastal village of Cemaes. A moderately challenging section includes the Breakwater Country Park in Holyhead. The route heads over the mountain and Coast Path to the iconic South Stack, an RSPB reserve with fantastic birdwatching opportunities.  Key points of interest include Beaumaris Castle, Carmel Head and South Stack.

This stage will be walked by Keith Lewis and his team

"When we heard that Walk on Wales was going to be walking past a large number of our pubs we thought that it was a great opportunity to support our soldiers.”
