What to do in Holyhead

Stay near popular Holyhead attractions

A lighthouse on a rocky island surrounded by calm sea.

South Stack Lighthouse

9.4/10 (121 reviews)
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.
