| Here's a list that was provided to me by Tim Prevett a while ago. All easily do-able in a day, and it might inspire you: <i>This is a circular route you can do a look at the map around most of these sites will reveal mind blowing amounts of other features to look at. Over the Menai Bridge, then Westbound Bryn Celli Ddu; standing stone not far to the N on farmland http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=24 Bryn Gwyn Standing stones (reputedly tallest in Wales) http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=716 Barclodiad Y Gawres (need to pick up the key at tourist info / cafe at Aberffraw) http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1492 Not far N from there Ty Newydd http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=170 a bit further N Bodfeddan Inscribed Stone http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=4116 Head W for Holyhead Trefignath Multiple Chambered Tomb http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=4441 A tiny bit to the N Ty Mawr standing stone http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=382812546 Then out W towards South Stack - the hut circles; great place http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=5946 Not far away, the pre-historic goal posts of Penrhos Feilw http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1496 You then need to start on the road out of Holyhead, turn left at major crossroads, heading N to begin going around the island: You will pass Fadog Frech standing stone - easily do-able http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=187825956 A little further on: Pen Yr Orsedd standing stones, a little distance apart, both on farm land, but tall! http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1256679883 Loop around heading east now, you need to go to Llanfechell, which has a lovely trio of stones atop a ridge http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=2035752060 and a massive slab standing stone near some pylons http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=4112 head around the coast road to Amlwch, then south towards Moelfre for Lliwgy Burial Chamber http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1495 and Din Lligwy Ancient Settlement http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1494 If you want a panorama of the island, get to Mynydd Bodafon, NNW from Moelfre, nearer the E coast of the island; here, on a good day, every single side of the island can be seen, with a glorious view of Snowdonia to the S. For sheer 'phwoar' get to Newborough forest and the coast next to it on the SW side of the island. A place that is forever fixed in our minds. If you go there, you might want to explore the Malltraeth Standing Stone http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=4110</i> I didn't get to all of them, specifically we didn't get out to Holyhead itself, we turned back after Trefignath.
