Penmon Point (Trwyn Du / Black Point)
The eastern tip of Anglesey, reached by a toll road from Penmon Priory, with Trwyn Du lighthouse just offshore, views to Puffin Island and a café.
Penmon Point, also called Trwyn Du or Black Point, is the headland at the eastern tip of Anglesey, at the northern entrance to the Menai Strait. Just offshore stands Trwyn Du lighthouse, built by Trinity House in 1838. It has been unmanned since 1922 and has a 178kg fog bell.
Across the sound is Puffin Island (Ynys Seiriol), home to a large seabird colony. From the point you may see seals, harbour porpoises or dolphins.
What to see and do
Footpaths run around the headland. Visit Anglesey suggests a half-day walk of about 3.5 miles from Penmon Priory out to the point and back, then along the coast to Traeth Lleiniog. There is a café and souvenir shop at the point.
Good to know
The point is reached along a toll road from Penmon Priory, and a charge is payable.
