Discover Bull Bay

For a trip to Bull Bay on Anglesey, coastal walks, nature and geological features offer tangible points of interest. There is also a golf club, rowing and historic sites. Whether you want to explore Bull Bay mainly on foot, with an interest in wildlife and rocks, or through sport and local history, the facts highlight different aspects of your stay.

Coastal Walks and Routes

The circular walk near Bull Bay is about 3.2 miles long; half of it follows the northern Anglesey Coastal Path. Another route detail concerns the Wales Coast Path: its 13.25 km section from Amlwch Port to Cemaes leads to the bay of Porth Llechog (Bull Bay). The endpoints and distances help distinguish this section from the circular walk near Bull Bay. About 1 km after the start, the circular walk passes a ruined windmill that was already in ruins in 1899.

Cliffs, Geology and Wildlife

Low cliffs define the circular walk. At the cliffs near Bull Bay, visible from the Coastal Path, folded rock layers, arches, rock stacks and ravines can be seen; several caves are inaccessible. The age of the rock also gives the coast a geological character: the rock in the cliffs of Bull Bay is over 570 million years old.

Oystercatchers and other wading birds can be seen on the shore. Harbour porpoises and grey seals are often spotted near the coast. The cliffs around Bull Bay are also home to seabirds such as puffins and razorbills. These different sights on the shore, in the water and on the cliffs complement the geological features of the coast.

History and Sporting Activities

Bull Bay Baths were built in 1864 as a private tidal bathing pool for the Marquess of Anglesey. The ruined windmill on the circular walk offers another historical point of interest: it was already in ruins in 1899. A tidal bathing pool is a bathing facility whose use depends on the changing tides, rather than being independent of them.

Bull Bay Golf Club is the northernmost golf course in Wales. A heathland course, it sits high above the Irish Sea and offers spectacular views; on clear days, they extend as far as the Isle of Man and Cumbria. Rowing is another sporting highlight: Ynys Mon Rowing Club is based in Bull Bay on Anglesey and offers recreational and competitive rowing. Anyone interested can arrange a taster session with the club. Before visiting, check current options and participation requirements directly with the club, as arrangements may change.
