Ty Croes: Culture, Coast and Activities

If you’re looking for a hotel in Ty Croes, specific interests can help you plan your stay. Options range from the Barclodiad y Gawres passage tomb and the 12-kilometre Rhosneigr and Tŷ Croes circular walk to motorsport, saunas and coastal scenery. When choosing your destination, you can decide whether to include an archaeological landmark, a longer walk outdoors or a practical activity at the racetrack.

A passage tomb with an unusual form

Barclodiad y Gawres (“The Giantess’s Apronful”) is a decorated cruciform passage tomb. This type of monument is unusual on Anglesey, as such tombs are usually found only in Ireland. Intricate zigzag and spiral patterns are carved into five stones. The cruciform layout and the decorations offer two different perspectives on the monument. The passage tomb can be viewed from the outside year-round between 10 am and 4 pm. Plan your exterior visit within this time window. If you’re interested in archaeological structures, the tomb’s form and stone patterns provide a clear focus for your visit.

Circular walk and coastal scenery

The Rhosneigr and Tŷ Croes circular walk is 12 kilometres long. If you’d like to plan a longer outing into your stay, this route gives you a specific distance to work with when planning your day. Porth Trecastell offers a different focus: the sandy beach lies between Rhosneigr and Aberffraw on Anglesey and is lined with cliffs and rock pools. You can choose between a circular walk and a coastal landscape with distinctive natural features as different focuses for your visit. For nature lovers, the designated heathland, grassland and rocky habitats of the Rhosneigr and Ty Croes area are another aspect to explore.

Experience motorsport hands-on

The Performance Driving Centre focuses on a practical activity: it offers driving courses on a racetrack. The courses are aimed at people of all ages, from different walks of life and with a range of driving ambitions. If you’d like to specifically combine your stay with motorsport, this gives you a concrete course to consider. The focus is on hands-on driving, setting this activity apart from a visit to the passage tomb or the coast.

Sauna and getting there

Sawna Bach offers private and shared sauna sessions at Porth Tyn Tywyn on Anglesey. Both formats can accommodate up to eight people. If you’re planning a group visit, the session format and group size offer useful guidance; check current availability and practical details before visiting. Rhosneigr and Ty Croes are among the nearest railway stations to Sawna Bach. If you’re travelling by train, check current timetable and stopping information in advance, as stopping arrangements may change.
