- Welcome to this Things To Do In Anglesey Wales Vlog.
Anglesey is an island in Wales, off the mainland's North West coast.
The island is accessed via the 19 century Menai Suspension Bridge and by the 20th Century Britannia Bridge.
In this things to do in Anglesey wales vlog, our day took a few twists and turns.
Our original plan was to visit Bardsey Island, an island just off the coast of the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales and to make a Bardsey Island vlog, but due to the changing weather conditions and the risk of wind, our trip to Bardsey Island was cancelled last minute.
We decided to look where else we could explore and after a bit of searching, we decided to visit Anglesey and after looking on Trip Advisor, we decided to visit some of the places that were listed as their Top Things To Do In Anglesey Wales.
We drove to the North West of the island to the famous South Stack Lighthouse. We had never been to South Stack before (well, Wills had as a child, but couldn't really remember it).
We had a great time exploring South Stack Lighthouse, although the steps were a killer.
Next on our adventure exploring Anglesey Wales, was a trip to Llangefni and a walk around the Dingle Nature Reserve. Also known as Nant Y Pandy, we went for a lovely free walk around this beautiful nature reserve. If you're looking for things to do for free in Anglesey or things to do for free in North Wales, then the Llangefni Dingle Nature Reserve is highly recommended.
A short drive over the island was next as we headed to the beautiful beach at Red Wharf Bay. If you're looking at contenders for the Best Beaches In North Wales, then Red Wharf Bay must be on the list.
Next off, we take another short drive and head to Benllech Beach. Benllech Beach was a lot busier than Red Wharf Beach, but it was amazing to see so many people enjoying a North Wales seaside resort.
Our final destination before we headed home was taking a trip to see the train station with the longest name in Europe -
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
We also tell you how you pronounce it and what it means.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is also known as Llanfair PG or, Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and is a large village and community on the Menai Strait.
We plan to do a separate vlog soon about the meaning and locations of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, so look out for that one in the future.
Finally, it was time to head home for our tradition sum up of the day and enjoy a well deserved pint.
We loved our day trip around Anglesey, North Wales and hope you enjoy this Anglesey vlog.
And as we always say in Postcard and a Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint CZcams channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Chippy chippy in Holyhead is the best chippy in the whole of the UK. I eat there every single day on my holiday. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, thankfully it's not long until my holidays. The cafe at South stack is pretty wonderful too, especially for walkers and ramblers. I could go on for hours I love the place so much. So much nature and beauty, lovely people too.
Thanks for the heads up on the chippy! We love a good fish n chips. The south stack cafe looked gorgeous, but we didn't eat there this time. Cheers for watching 🍻
Enjoyed visiting some of your highlighted places. Thanks
Thank you so much. We're glad you enjoyed it. Cheers 🍻
OMG !! Too many steps !! Just thinking about it hurts my knees !! Lol 😅☹️I loved tge movie " Half Light " shot in Anglesey !! Beautiful light house ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶🏴💞
It hurt our knees too!!! We don't know that film, we'll have to check it out. Thanks so much for watching. Anglesey is a stunning place 🍻
Best part of Anglesey is the west coast,the north and east are quite industrial and grey,nice if you want to see tankers when sat on the beach!
West coast is beautiful and peaceful,well worth a visit 😊
@@garypryor2153 totally agree! Not in this video, but one of our favs is Aberffraw! Love it there. Cheers for watching 🍻
@PostcardAndAPint we loved the west coast beaches and coves. Parking was excellent in most places.
The Lleyn peninsula just below is an area of pure beauty,traditional language spoken,super friendly locals and feels similar to many places in Ireland, will be returning very soon!
Enjoy your travels and keep on posting!😎
@@garypryor2153 thank you so much. We really want to come over and visit Ireland. Can you believe it's our next door neighbour and we've never been! Shocking!!! Cheers 🍻
wonderful north wales my friend nice vlog by the way
Thanks so much for watching. It’s a gorgeous place to visit. Cheers 🍻
Nice info on Anglesey. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much 🍻
That's a lot of weather....and a lot of Anglesey...looks like a great place to explore.
All seasons in one day. Cheers for watching 🍻
😂Fails in Wales!!😅 too funny!!!
Dry weather is always good! Lol
Seriously lovely views from the island and yes, steps that go down also go up!!! Lol
Awesome lighthouse!!!
Never knew walking and talking was a chore, of course if you didn't have steps to climb..lolol...poor Wills!!!
Wow, very beautiful looking hideaway reserve with lovely trails and lakes.
Wonderful to have the place to yourselves.
Didn't know Wills spoke French, German and Dutch all at once!🤣
Awesome Station!
Sorry you had to change your plans last minute but we Honestly enjoyed your replacement destination!!!
Thanks So Much and we hope all is well!!!
😁🤙👊
Thank you so much. Yes the light house was a trek, but we enjoyed it. We struggle with walking and talking on the flat, so this was a challenge!! Hahah yep the welsh language is a funny old thing! Once you’ve learnt the alphabet though, it is easier to read stuff than English though. The beaches in Anglesey are gorgeous we’d love to see more of them. Cheers for watching and leaving us a lovely comment. Cheers 🍻
Pretty spectacular! A great way to end a not so stellar weekend. Those stairs though...how many times could a person make it up and down them in a day!! Incredible!! Time to relax and enjoy the week ahead. Bruce and Otis
Cheers guys. We had to have many a rest!!! Great views though. The beach was well welcome after that. Cheers 🍻
Hi there. Just found your channel - and just watching your Wales series. We explored all along the Welsh coast and really enjoyed it.Loving your videos, will be catching up on your travels. New sub👍😀
Ah thanks so much. We’re glad you have enjoyed North Wales, we do have some amazing scenery. We will be popping across to your channel to check out some videos. Cheers and welcome to the channel 🍻
Guys you had better weather at South Stack than we did ! And hehe yes there are a lot of steps there, nice look inside the lighthouse and Bardsey Island has been on our list for a long while because of our faith and the Pilgrim Path which we have been doing, we know Colin won't take the boat out, he is really careful and we were actually opposite there walking last week and got footage of the Island and were looking out for him to see if he was out ! We might have seen you if you had gone ! 😃
The Dingle is gorgeous, haven't been there for a while and we love Benllech and Red Wharf Bay too.
Well done on the Welsh pronunciation of LlanfairPG Wills 😃 Shame you missed Abersoch it's been gorgeous this week . Nice to see around Anglesey 🏴
Have a great holiday :) ~ Anna 👍
Cheers guys. We’ll get to Bardsey one day! Colin is right to be cautious. We’ve gone off Abersoch. Whilst we took that call, wills took a call off his mum - who is ill and we used the 4G - we got a parking ticket!!! Abersoch is off our Christmas card list for sure!! We loved South Stack - even all those steps. We also love so many of the beaches on Anglesey. It was a fine day out in the end. Cheers for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPintHope Wills mum is feeling better now, I would ring up and pursue it and explain what happened with his mum being ill. Guessing it was the car park near the beach/ golf club as it happens to a lot of people there. We had a lot of beach stuff with us a few years back and parked in the golf club area one and there was some problem with tickets and I pursued it and it got sorted. Don't be put off Abersoch hehe its gorgeous especially on a hot day, we have some beautiful video of it when the beaches are packed and water sports gong on that still needs editing, its so beautiful 🙂
@@FXWalesAnnaAlf it was the car park by the school. We did contest it, they were having none of it! So Abersoch is off our Christmas card list! X
@@PostcardAndAPint Ah OK, that's bad and sad they didn't sort it , it's usually the one near the golf club that has problems 🙁
My fave place :) Great vid guys, I simply love your narration :)
It’s a wonderful island. Thanks for watching 🍻
Not bad at all for a plan B. Hats off to you both for climbing all those stairs. That nature reserve looked lovely, lush and well cared for. You did well walking round there after thos stairs. HAving a 'Hangry session there Rachel 🤪🤪 I so get that. Good childhood memories, a lovely day at the beach and to top it off I heard Wills say the name of the railway station. We were luckier- and stayed in Llanfair! Full stop! Couldn't have coped with more. Thanks for the tour and your plan B. Enjoy your week. 🌞😎🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿 🍺🍺
Ah thanks Anita. Yep those steps were brutal, but we made it. Yes, sorry just a bit hangry!!! The nature reserve was beautiful and then it was summer again and we went to the beach! Gotta love a bit of Llanfair PG and the gags that go with it. Cheers 🍻
The scenery of Anglesey was really lovely, those impressive cliffs around the lighthouse, the greenery of the Dingle and then the beaches. It looks like a great place for a holiday, just be prepared to bring some of your own food!
Thanks for watching. It was a totally unplanned day, but it turned out ok in the end! Cheers 🍻
Brilliant video, thank you so much for taking the time to upload for us all. I'll definitely head on over to Instagram👍 haha the gag at the end made me chuckle....in your dreams Wills....and yours Rachel 😂 ❤
Thanks so much for watching. We’re trying hard with the Instagram this week! We’re in Mykonos today. Can’t wait. Cheers 🍻
looks nice there cool views from the lighthouse the nature reserve looked nice to visit nice beach crazy name at the railway station
*always a full view🖥Au👍leaving a big like😎have a great week ahead*
Thanks Billy, for a fail of a day it turned out ok in the end. Cheers 🍻
It is a very beautiful & peaceful area. Thank you my friends for sharing this beautiful video.🙂
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Myself and my springer spaniel stopped off in Anglesey for twenty four hours on our way to Ireland.
Did Southstack and several beaches all in a day, too quick, but god how beautiful.
I love this Channel, happily subscribed.
Thank you so much. That walk down and up to south stack is immense!!! There are some stunning beaches there. Sounds like you had a lovely stop off. Cheers for watching and welcome to the channel 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint
Cheers to the good times 😂😂😂
Wonderful video. I really like your style of video & am looking forward to watching more. 😎🍻👍🍻😎
Thank you so much. We’re glad you enjoyed it 🍻
Literally just booked our next trip to Anglesey, four nights for my birthday in November. A lovely air bnb this time, with sea views, rather than the van. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👋
Sounds lush! Have the best time. There’s so much to see on Anglesey. 🍻
Very nice your trip! Have a nice day! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks so much for watching. 🍻
Great video guys, shame about your boat trip, the summer has been none existent this year so the odd day we can get of sunshine is appreciated and you seemed to make the most of it! Shame you didn’t see a red squirrel 🐿️ but the Robin was cute! Well done Wills for being able to say that long word twice even 🤣 hope you are having a lovely time away! Sorry we missed your live instagram stream! Have a great week guys ❤️
Ah thanks guys. We’re having a lovely time. Mykonos town today!! Love it. We’re making up for the lack of British summer big time. Our plan B day went well, apart form a parking ticket in Abersoch grrr!!!! We’ll catch a red squirrel one day. Cheers for watching and we can’t wait to catch up with your vids soon!! Cheers 🍻
I am from New Zealand. my late grandparents were from Angelsea. my grandad is buried at Maeshyfryd Cemetery . my late Mum talked abou the South stack all the time . Love Angelsea
Thank you for watching. Anglesey is so beautiful and we always love a visit there. The steps up and down to south stack were brutal!! It was very beautiful though. Thanks for sharing your family history, we hope you get over for a visit soon. Cheers 🍻
This was brilliant guys, we are always amazed at how much you fit into a day out!😊🙌. Anglesey is really beautiful, a great alternative to Bardsey. The lighthouse was so cool! What a view! Definitely worth all those steps, although it did look like a leg pumper on the way back up 🙈 🚶♀️ 😊. Gorgeous beach and some stellar drone shots there 😊⛱️👍. Ooh that sharing platter looked worth the wait 😋. We can't wait for the video of the station (i am not even going to attempt to type it let alone say it 😂). Never a fail with you two on the case😊👌
Have a great week guys
Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
Thanks guys we did fail this day, but Anglesey is a great island and there is so much we haven’t done on it, so there’s always something to find and explore. Yep, those stairs were jelly leg inducing. Cheers for watching and cheers from Rhodes today 🍻
@PostcardAndAPint ooh lovely! We will look forward to the videos from Rhodes, always love the abroad vlogs from you guys😎. Happy holidays, enjoy! 🌞☀️ 🍹🍻
Oh dear, the British weather! ☔️ The lighthouse was very cool 😎 Lovely coastline scenery and sea views. Thanks for a fun and entertaining vlog 🤗❤️
Thanks so much for joining us. Cheers 🍻
Hello from Brazil. Very nice video and place. Excellent narrative 👏🏼 🇧🇷☕️
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Very fun visit to Anglesey Wales! I loved the old photos of Wills as a little guy - too cute! This sounded like a really good backup plan. Loved the bit with Rach looking out very regally at the lighthouse despite the wind!
Ah thank you. He was a cute little boy but one chunk of a baby!! My gaze out to sea was not as regal as Queen Vic!! Hahah cheers for watching 🍻
The Lighthouse is so awesome 28 and 300 Wow well done my friends
See you soon have a wonderful weekend stay safe cheers
Thank you. We had legs of jelly after all those steps, it was great to see though. Cheers for watching 🍻
Brilliant video by the way ❤️ Anglesea
Thank you so much. I’m leaving Wills to answer the sound question!! Cheers 🍻
Wow where to start. Way too many steps to the lighthouse. My knees would have exploded. Cool that you got to go up too though. The Dingle looks awesome. Peaceful just our sort of place. And the beaches. Spot on. A great tour and something to think about when we head that way again. Top work guys. 👌🏻👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. Best wishes from us both.
Yep we had legs of jelly after that! You can get pretty good photos from the top though with no stairs involved!! The Dingle was beautiful and you can’t go wrong with beaches on Anglesey. Cheers both 🍻
Looks to be a lovely area 😊 fun place to spend some time, and the seaside is magnificent!
Thank you so much. You can’t go wrong with the beaches on Anglesey. Cheers 🍻
We're always here for "Fails in Wales." The lighthouse room looks like a cross training gym. Thought you were taking a break to break a sweat! With all those steps, we're surprised there aren't most ghosts created at that site. Kingfishers are beautiful but elusive! Excellent beach drone footage! Wills don't be casting spells on your audience with all those long words.
Thanks guys. We will be bringing out the 6 part box set of fails in Wales if our luck continues! Anyway we’re in Rhodes today so all is well. Cheers for watching. Those stairs were killer. Great day out though. Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint 🍻
Hi guys shame about Bardsey Island however Anglesey was brilliant loved the little dog getting in the scene 2:11. The lighthouse was cool, a good way to keep fit. Would love to visit the coffee hut 🛖 . The dingle was lovely and peaceful . Best wishes, Dave & Dawn ❤
Thanks guys. We’ll get to Bardsey another day! We had a great day in the end. Highly recommend south stack - jelly legs a bit, but a gorgeous place to visit. Cheers 🍻
Really lovely video, guys! Loved watching all your adventures! Red Wharf bay reminded me of Red Dwarf bay 😉
LOVED the drone footage! ❤
And I'm really glad you went to the famous train station with the longest name! I've always wanted to go there...
Lol! I had made this comment and then at the end you actually said red dwarf! 😂
The day turned out ok in the end. Anglesey is lovely so it’s hard not to have a good day.
Yep easy to slip up! Cheers for watching 🍻
Great video. Think I would miss all those steps 😮. But the views looked lovely. 👍🏻
Jelly legs for sure!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Thanks for showing us a different side to Anglesey! We love Beaumaris and Church Bay, but there’s so much more to see and do! Oh my, those steps would have crippled us 😮 Will’s jokes get worse 😂
Ah thanks guys. We love Anglesey, there are so many incredible beaches. Yep those stairs nearly finished us, but it was good to see some different parts of the island. Cheers for watching. 🍻
In my younger days those stairs to the lighthouse wouldn't have been any problem at all. Nowadays, I could take a pass. Thanks to this and other videos though, I can see some out-of-the-way places from the comfort of home.... but still wish to visit some of the flatter areas in Wales someday. Cheers!
Cheers for watching. Yep there’s a lot of ups and downs in wales! Metaphorically and physical. Cheers for watching ! 🍻
Great trip to Anglesey, shame the island trip got cancelled but I’m sure you’ll get round to it again. Looks like you made the most of your day though and fits lots in 😊 I really liked the lighthouse but it was so windy the day I visited I got a little vertigo on the steps down 😅 the nature reserve looked very nice
Thanks Yasmin. It was quite the trek was South Stack, but we made it! Need to get fitter. Yep gutted about Bardsey, but another day. Sorry to hear your south stack trip, it is really high! Yes all in all it was a good day. Cheers 🍻
Oh yes! I hope you see a puffin, a kingfisher and a red squirrel 🐿️
We saw none of the above this day!! 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint too bad 😔... but I'm glad you had a lovely day nonetheless!
Just beautiful. It's a shame that I had to cancel my trip there at the time of the stupid virus. I would have liked to see it with my own eyes.
Thank you for showing me !
Fingers crossed you can visit soon. It’s a lovely island with loads to see and do. Cheers for watching 🍻
I remember being on the beach at Newborough Forest in the Heatwave of 1976. The sand was too hot to walk on. Burnt the soles of my feet and got bitten by a horsefly.
We holidayed in Anglesey ever year from 5 years old to 16 years old. And I've been back so many times. My Auntie lived in Moelfre and her ex, my uncle lived in Benllech. Always had some great days
That sounds idyllic, well not the horsefly! Wills auntie lived in Benllech too, he spent many a summer on Benllech beach. We love Newborough beach and Llanddwyn too, especially out of season. Cheers for watching 🍻
Thanks a lot for this video. I am planning our holidays in Wales at the moment and it was great to watch your authentic insight. We are planning to go to South Stack but over 400 steps seem to be quite a challenge. Is the path wide enough to take a rest now and then without hindering other people?
Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm not gonna lie, it was a challenge, but there were benches and handy rocks to sit on along the way! We're so glad we did it. Have a brilliant time 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint wow. That was a quick response! Benches and rocks sound perfect! Thank you
Anglesea is a great place to visit guys 👍 enjoyed your film 👌 there's some ancient sites on the island.. burial mounds etc may be worth s film ? Anyway all the best Glyn
Cheers for watching. We love Anglesey and have many more videos planned. We’ve passed signs for the stones, so will definitely check those out one day. Cheers 🍻
Very enjoyable, gg's 👏
Like deployed 👍
Cheers for watching 🍻
that light house haunted?! you couldn't get me in there!
It didn’t feel scary! Maybe at night!! To be honest after all those stairs, ghosts are the last thing on your mind! Cheers for watching 🍻
ha ha loved it and i also have my wife's name tattooed......Lea...ok its her initials hands up ...anyway great video loved it
Love this!!! Cheers 🍻
I'm from ynys Mon .and I'm surprised you had llangfni in your vid .you made it and the dingle look nice .how did u do it lol
To be honest Llangefni was the nearest big town and we’d seen the Dingle online - it was very pretty in the sunshine!! Maybe you know different!!! Cheers for watching 🍻
We get to see HANGRY Rach in this episode 😂
It’s August!!! Open some shops!!! 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint American shops are open much more than British shops! We were taking some friends around Cheltenham last night and commenting on the fact that the stores would all be open till 9 PM if it were the US 🤓
How do you stop the wind interference with your camera mic?
Hi, since our Ibiza videos, we’ve mostly used a GoPro 11 which has a wind reduction filter built in (as well as using the foam pop shield on the mic). We use the automatic setting which to be honest is a bit hit and miss, depending on how strong the wind is and how it hits the mic. Also during editing, sometimes we’ll add a high pass filter to the audio (cutting out low frequencies while letting through the higher ones). That’s pretty much it to be honest. Hope that helps? Cheers
@PostcardAndAPint thanks I'm gopro 11 also but trying to get the best sound isn't easy as wind reduction to me sounds mono. Your videos always sound crisp and with us both having to deal with the wind in Wales etc thought you might be using a magic microphone 😅🤣
@@outandaboutwithus ah cool. Yes, the wind reduction feature does do some funny stuff with your sound, whenever any noise reduction is applied, something suffers somewhere, which is why we generally have it on auto, rather than in permanently. If it helps, when we edit, I’ll take the track with the camera audio on its own and then normalise the file, add a high pass filter then compress it so it’s all fairly even. We do the same with the voice over track and then take a while to mix the 3 audio tracks (camera audio, music and voice over) together. Sometimes I’ll then compress the full mixed down audio, but not always. You’ll probably notice that we don’t always have that much camera audio, the majority is music and voice over - which is easier to control. Hope that was of some interest (I’ll put my anorak back on now 😂). Cheers 🍻
@PostcardAndAPint no that's perfect to the technical minded unfortunately editing is not my strong point hence a wak tour 🤣 thanks for all your help but at the min I thunk if its windy on ours your going to hear wind 🤣😂
"Fails in Wales".... I sympathise 😩
Happens all the time 🍻
