Air Travel to Anglesey, Wales
Arriving in the UK Are you going to get to Anglesey by air? If so, you have some good options to choose from. As an international traveller from North America, Europe, Asia or Africa you can get to the UK through the major European hub of London Heathrow or Gatwick.
I've met many visitors here on the island who used Manchester because of its convenient location in the north west.

NEW AIRPORT NOW OPEN ON ANGLESEY The Welsh Assembly Government funded civilian enclave at RAF VAlley has proved to be a major success. This progress does lead to real possibilities that the area will open up to the international air traveller from other parts of the UK. Scottish company Highland Airways which runs the twice daily weekday service between Anglesey Airport at RAF Valley and Cardiff International Airport says that passenger numbers have exceeded original estimates. The north south air link is proving so successful that there are strong possibilities that a bigger plan may be commissioned and an increase in flight frequency is also a possibility. Other companies are showing some interest in possibly opening up other routes such as Dublin and Manchester. And with economic developments coming along on the island, the prospects look good for the airport at RAF Valley.

Need to know more about getting to Anglesey by road
If you have other transport arranged for while you are on Anglesey, you can take a coach or train instead. Manchester Airport has a modern rail and coach connection system called "The Station". By rail, first take the train to Manchester Piccadilly Station (city centre) and then pick up a connection for Crewe, a major rail hub in Britain. Then take the train from Crewe which terminates at Holyhead. Holyhead is a major strategic port and rail terminus on the western side of Anglesey. Please note that if you get another connection it may end at Llandudno Junction, which means you would have to wait there for yet another train. If, however, the train stops at Bangor, that would be fine if you have planned to stay on the eastern side of Anglesey.
