Location
RSPB South Stack Visitor Centre
South Stack Road, Holyhead, AngleseyAbout this location
The South Stack reserve comprises of two large areas of heathland, offshore stacks and caves and two blocks of Show more… farmland. A wide variety of birds and other flora and fauna can be seen, with the best time to visit being spring and summer.
Enjoy a close-up view onto a wonderful cliff-side nesting colony, with binoculars and telescopes provided. You'll be able to watch guillemots, razorbills and puffins all raising their young, while live television pictures give you an even closer view of the nests! Rare choughs can also be seen on the reserve.
In spring and summer, the heathland becomes a riot of colour. Look closely and you may see a basking adder, while out to sea there may be porpoises and dolphins.Show less…
