Stones, huts and a lifeboat: Moelfre’s ancient coast
A free half day near Moelfre: a 25-ton Neolithic tomb, a Roman-era village and the lifeboat station.

The plan
Start: Lligwy Burial Chamber
See the enormous capstone, then walk about 400m along the lane.
Next: Din Lligwy
A walled village of roundhouses and workshops used in late Roman times. Open daily 10am–4pm. The ruined chapel of Capel Lligwy is next to it.
Beach break: Lligwy Beach
A big sandy bay for a run around. Dogs are welcome all year.
Finish: Moelfre Seawatch
Climb aboard the retired lifeboat and hear about the Royal Charter wreck. Free.
Tea: Ann’s Pantry
Homemade cakes in Moelfre’s century-old café (kitchen closes around 3pm), or a pint at The Kinmel Arms by the beach.
Winter or wet-day swaps
From November to March Seawatch closes at 3.30pm, so do it first if you’re late starting. On a wet day it’s the best bit, as it’s indoors.
