Mynydd Bodafon

0.6 miles (1 km)

This walk climbs to Mynydd Bodafon on the eastern side of the Isle of Anglesey.
The hill is notable as the highest point on the�island�of�Anglesey. However, the highest in the county of Anglesey is Holyhead Mountain.
You can start the walk from the parking area, just south west of the hill. Then pick up a circular trail which will lead you up to the 178 metre summit. At the top you are rewarded with some splendid views across the island to the coast.
To the south west there's also Llyn Bodafon to visit.
