Location

Pen y Graig, with its two holiday properties and bed and breakfast apartment, is situated on a hill looking out over Church Bay towards Holy Island on the west coast of the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales, a 15 minute drive from the A55 at Valley

Church Bay is a picturesque hamlet in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Church Bay beach is just 500 metres away. A safe, sandy beach flanked by low rocks with pools and backed by a ridge of large pebbles and boulders. Smaller coves and caves can be easily reached, if you explore along the Coastal Foot Path which runs along the cliffs above the beach.  It is sometimes possible to spot seals, porpoises, choughs and buzzards.

In Church Bay you will find:

  • The Lobster Pot Restaurant with inside and outdoor seating. Opening times vary – it is recommended to book in advance.
  • The Wavecrest Cafe with inside and outside seating. A friendly, busy and popular family run cafe offering a variety of meals and snacks during the summer months. Zoe’s Cake Cabin opens for drinks, snacks and cakes when the cafe is closed on some days of the week.
  • The Church Bay Inn has a sunny patio with panoramic sea views – NO food, serves drinks only.
  • Swtan Heritage Museum – a fully restored 17th century welsh thatched cottage
