Summary
The path mainly follows the coast but not entirely. Exceptions are where the path comes inland from Moel y Don by Plas Newydd estate, and the Bodorgan Estate on the west of the island between Aberffraw and Malltraeth. The loop officially begins and ends at Holyhead and is described in the official guidebook in an anti-clockwise direction. It cost £1.4 million and runs virtually within the length of the entire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, using the existing network of public rights of way and some designated permissive paths. For example, the coastal path at Mynachdy is closed between mid-September and mid-February, though alternatives to these permissive paths exist. The path is well signposted throughout. It has been walked in as little as four days, but around 7–10 days is a guideline for most walkers aiming to complete the whole path. The Anglesey Coast Path forms part of the Wales Coast Path, an 870-mile long-distance walking route around the entire coast of Wales from Chepstow to Queensferry, officially opened in May 2012.
