Old lighthouses are wonderfully romantic spots, with their inspiring views, lonely locations, and a powerful proximity to the elements. Lighthouses don’t come much better than South Stack’s which has stood proud since 1809. Not far from Holyhead, the largest town on the island of Anglesey and, these days, a busy ferry port, the lighthouse assists the passage of ships on the Dublin–Holyhead–Liverpool sea route, which crosses some famously stormy seas.

The name Beaumaris comes from the French phrase for ‘beautiful marshes’ and stems from the nickname given to the area by the French builders who constructed Beaumaris Castle in 1295 on what was then a marsh. Anyone visiting today will be bound to agree that it’s a description which aptly fits, as the town sits adjacent to the Anglesey coast and the waters of the Menai Strait.
