Guided history, geology and local interest walk - Rhoscolyn

Where: Starting from St Gwenfaen's Church, Rhoscolyn (LL65 2SQ)
When: 2pm Saturday 10th October
How much: £15 for adults and £6 for children (plus booking fee if booked online)

Join us on our Rhoscolyn walk which will take you over some of Britain’s oldest rocks, back to a time before life as we know it. We will see evidence of ice ages and the movement of tectonic plates. We will also look at the intriguing history of the area, from Saints and Druids to ship wrecks and ship wreckers.

The route follows one of Anglesey’s most scenic walks. With the mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia), and the Llyn Peninsular as a backdrop, the cliff top route includes an ancient well, two sea arches and a stunning view with every step. There is also wildlife in abundance and you will frequently see Chough, Peregrine, and Seals.

The walk will be led by Andy Short who is an accredited GeoMon Guide
This walk is always popular.

Important to Know:

The walk will run from Rhoscolyn Church LL65 2SQ, there is parking around the Church for a few cars.

The walk is of moderate difficulty and usually lasts 2-3 hours. The majority of the walk is on the Anglesey Coastal Path although there is an area where there is an option of scrambling a short section over a few rocks to get to a particular feature. The path is slippy in places when wet and there are rocky uneven stretches around Rhoscolyn Head.

It can also get muddy in places. Boots are a good idea, and we will need to dress for the weather as it is an exposed area on the cliff top.

The UK will experience a partial solar eclipse on Wednesday 12 August.

The extent of the Sun’s coverage and the timing of maximum obscuration will differ across the country. Local weather conditions may impact viewing opportunities, so it’s worth checking the forecast in advance 🌦️

Northeast Scotland will have around 88% covered just before 7pm, whilst in the far southwest of England there will be around 96% coverage just after 7:15pm.

Never look directly at the sun; use a pinhole projector or certified eclipse glasses to view it.

Are you looking forward to this spectacle? ☀️🌕

Back in November of last year we invited experts from the Natural History Museum in London to our museum to take samples for analysis from the mammoth remains we have on display. These were dug up from Holyhead harbour in the 1850s.
Whilst we still await the results from the DNA analysis, we have recently received the results of tests to determine when the Woolly Mammoth, we have named 'Myfanwy', roamed the area around Holyhead.
The results tell us that this was close to 15,000 years ago and as such is currently the oldest known mammoth to have reinhabited Britain following the end of the ice age.
Myfanwy is also the only mammoth remains found in Wales!
Why not come and view the remains when you visit the museum. We open again on 31 March.
