A circular walk near Bull Bay is about 3.2 miles long and is characterised by low cliffs. Oystercatchers and other wading birds can be seen along the shore. Bull Bay is on Anglesey, giving it a specific coastal connection for planning your trip. If you are considering Bull Bay as a place to stay, you can first weigh up whether you mainly want to walk, watch wildlife, play golf or row. Golf and rowing are additional activities in Bull Bay.

Coastal paths and cliffs

Half of the circular walk near Bull Bay follows Anglesey’s northern Coastal Path. About a kilometre from the start, it passes a ruined windmill that was already in ruins in 1899. Another section of the Wales Coast Path is 13.25 km long, runs from Amlwch Port to Cemaes and leads to the bay of Porth Llechog (Bull Bay). This gives you a choice of different types of route: a circular walk near Bull Bay and a section with Amlwch Port and Cemaes as named endpoints.

The rock in the cliffs at Bull Bay is over 570 million years old. The cliffs visible from the Coastal Path near Bull Bay feature folded rock strata, arches, rock pinnacles and ravines. Several caves in this area are inaccessible. A coastal walk therefore brings together two perspectives: the great age of the rock and the shapes of the coastline visible from the path.

Wildlife along the shore and cliffs

Harbour porpoises and grey seals are often sighted near the shore. Puffins and guillemots can be found along the coast near Bull Bay. Together with the oystercatchers and other wading birds along the shore, these offer different wildlife-watching settings: some of the animals mentioned belong to the shore area, while the two seabird species belong to the coastal area.

History, golf and rowing

Bull Bay Baths were built in 1864 as a private tidal bathing pool for the Marquess of Anglesey. Along with the windmill, which was already in ruins in 1899, these are two different historical details in the area.

Bull Bay Golf Club is the northernmost golf course in Wales. The course is a heathland course high above the Irish Sea and offers spectacular views. On a clear day, the view extends to the Isle of Man and Cumbria. The scenery is therefore a special feature of this distinct destination for a day out.

Ynys Mon Rowing Club is based in Bull Bay on Anglesey and offers recreational and competitive rowing. Those interested can arrange a taster session. As arrangements and participation requirements may change, check the details directly with the club before your visit.
