Getting to Trearddur Bay

Updated September 2026

Trearddur Bay is on the western edge of Anglesey, about as far west as you can get in Wales before you're in the Irish Sea. It's further from London than some people expect, but the journey is part of the appeal, and once you're here everything is close at hand.

By car, the main approach

The A55, known as the North Wales Expressway, is the main route onto Anglesey. From Chester, it's straight up the A483 and then the A55 to Holyhead. From Birmingham, the route is the M6 and A5. From London, the route north is one of those journeys where the landscape changes so much as you head north that it never feels like a chore.

The Britannia Bridge crossing from the mainland to Anglesey is the only significant crossing point. The second crossing at Conwy is much further east and rarely worth considering unless you're coming from further north. On busy summer weekends, the bridge can get congested, particularly on Sunday afternoon when day-trippers head home. If you're arriving on a Saturday morning, you'll usually sail through.

Once on Anglesey, stay on the A55 past Holyhead until you take the B4545 signposted to Trearddur Bay. The B4545 runs directly into the village. You'll see the bay appear on your left and the village unfolds from there. There's only one main road through the village, so you really can't go wrong.

Parking: the practical thing to know before you arrive

Parking in Trearddur Bay is on Lon St Ffraid, the road that runs parallel to the main beach. There's also a small car park on Ravenspoint Road at the north end of the bay, and a larger one above Porth Dafarch for the southern beach. We don't publish charges. The council's car parks page lists no fees for these, so check the signs where you park.

If you're staying in the village, your accommodation may have parking, so check before you arrive.

Parking signs on the day are the final word on where you can leave the car and on any charge.

Parking: the practical thing to know before you arrive

By train, closer than you might think

Isle of Anglesey County Council puts Bangor and Holyhead on the main rail route to Ireland, with connections and services from most parts of the UK. The council points travellers to National Rail Enquiries and Traveline Cymru to plan the journey.

From Holyhead station to Trearddur Bay is about three miles. A taxi is a practical option. There are usually taxis waiting at the station, or you can book in advance. For local bus times, the council points visitors to Traveline Cymru's timetable search and journey planner.

One of the underappreciated aspects of getting here by train is the journey itself. The line runs along the north Wales coast with sea views for large sections, and crossing the Britannia Bridge by train is an experience. You emerge onto Anglesey with the mountains of Snowdonia on one side and the Irish Sea on the other. Worth doing once just for that.

By ferry, the Irish connection

Holyhead is one of the principal ferry ports for crossings from Dublin, operated by Irish Ferries and Stena Line. If you're coming from Ireland, or if you're combining a Welsh holiday with a trip to the Republic, Holyhead is an extremely convenient arrival point.

Trearddur Bay is on Holy Island near the Holyhead ferry terminal, which makes it a practical base for anyone arriving from Ireland. A lot of people who own holiday homes in Trearddur Bay and the surrounding area originally discovered it this way. They came over on the ferry, found the bay, and kept coming back. It's a pattern you hear repeatedly here, and one we're rather proud of.

By air, nearest airports

There is no airport on Anglesey itself, so all air travel involves an onward drive. Manchester Airport, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Birmingham Airport are the usual mainland options.

Dublin Airport is also worth considering if you're coming from the US or Canada and fancy combining Wales with Ireland. The ferry crossing from Dublin to Holyhead is straightforward, and Trearddur Bay sits on Holy Island near Holyhead.
