South Stack Lighthouse was constructed in 1809 on the north west coast of Anglesey as a warning beacon to passing vessels of the treacherous rocks below. This spectacular lighthouse, with its difficult decent, is now open to the public after thirteen years of closure.
On the way down over 400 steps you will be able to view the awesome geology of the surrounding vertical cliff faces.

More than 4,000 seabirds breed on the cliffs at South Stack each year. You can watch live TV pictures of the breeding seabirds at the Ellins Tower and Lighthouse visitor centres. During the breeding season you are likely to see: puffins, guillemots, razorbills, fulmars, ravens and choughs. read more...
