Description

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.
