Description Suggest change

Like Gogarth, Holyhead Mountain lies at the northern end of Holyhead Island, but the atmosphere could hardly be more different. If you've had an interesting experience on the sea-cliffs of Gogarth, Holyhead Mountain is a good way to relax, as it's simple cragging. It's also a good place to climb on a sunny winter's day, as the crags are south facing and catch the sun. The rock (quartzite) is similar to the better parts of Gogarth but without so much sea-grass.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the road out of Holyhead for South Stack. Walk in as for Gogarth, but head for the obvious crags on the south side of Holyhead Mountain.
