Holyhead Breakwater Country Park is often used as a starting point for a hike up Holyhead Mountain or for coastal walks in the area. The park is situated on the site of an old stone quarry that once provided the raw materials that built Holyhead Breakwater, Europe's longest. Wildlife that can be spotted from here includes peregrine falcons, the world's fastest fliers.

Hiking

The pont with the water lilies is really nice. And you should not miss taking a look into the ruin with the chimney! There is some nice art to see.
