Holyhead Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The port of Holyhead is a major port for both fishing vessels and commercial passenger ships. From here, you can catch ferries to Ireland.

It's a lovely place to explore, with smaller boats bobbing on their moorings with the huge passenger liners coming and going, but you can climb the hill behind – Holyhead Mountain – to see a fantastic overview of the harbour.
