Phenrhos Gateway
Penrhos Gateway. This area has been a Nature Reserve for decades with generations of Holyhead people being able to enjoy the natural heritage of this area: the wooded area was planted in the 19th century and it has a wealth of woodland: mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland; flora and fauna: bluebell beds; meadow butterflies, and fresh water habitats. This area alone attracts 100.000 visitors every year. We have visited here for more years than we care to remember, just to wander round it’s woodland, enjoy the peace and quiet see the bluebells and the spring cyclamen, read about its history and enjoy it all, sadly this will come to an end, most of the Penrhos Nature Reserve will be closed to the public it will become a gated leisure village with up to 500 holiday homes – a nice place for those who stay there but what damage will be done to this glorious coastal when they start to build, it will never be the same again.
This is an old stone gateway into the old garden area of Penrhos.
