Copper country: Cemaes to Parys Mountain

Morning: Cemaes Heritage Centre

Start with the story of Wales’s most northerly village (usually open 10am–3pm, so check before you go).

Walk: Cemaes Bay to Llanbadrig Church

Follow the clifftop coast path east from the bay to the little church said to be founded by St Patrick, then walk back.

Lunch: Blueberries

Toasties and homemade cake in Amlwch on the way (closed Sundays).

Afternoon: Parys Mountain

Walk the heritage trail through red, orange and purple rock where copper was mined for 4,000 years. Wear proper shoes and stay on the path.

Winter or wet-day swaps

Parys Mountain is exposed in bad weather. On a wet day, spend longer in Cemaes and finish with a carvery at The Dinorben Arms in Amlwch instead.
