Half Tide Rock
Half Tide Rock is a small rocky outcrop located off the coast of Anglesey, an island in northwest Wales. Situated in the Irish Sea, it lies approximately 3 miles to the east of the town of Amlwch. The rock is named after its unique characteristic of being exposed only during half-tide, when the water level drops significantly.
Measuring around 100 meters in length and 50 meters in width, Half Tide Rock is composed of rugged, weathered cliffs with sharp edges and occasional patches of seaweed. The rock's surface is mostly uneven, with numerous crevices and small caves formed by centuries of erosion by the relentless sea. Its stark beauty attracts nature enthusiasts, photographers, and those seeking a serene coastal experience.
Due to its remote location, Half Tide Rock is not easily accessible and can only be reached by boat or during low-tide when it is possible to walk across the exposed seabed. The rock provides a habitat for a variety of marine life, including sea birds, crustaceans, and mollusks. It is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers often gathering to catch cod, mackerel, and other local species.
Half Tide Rock stands as a reminder of the powerful forces of nature and the ever-changing dynamics of the coastline. Its secluded nature and unique scenery make it a hidden gem for those who venture to explore this picturesque part of Anglesey.

Roundabout, A487
The A487 is one of the most important roads in Wales. It covers the majority of the west coast from St Davids to Menai Bridge, and is a primary route for most of its length, including a section where it multiplexes with the A470, another important north-south road. Along the way, it runs through two national parks: Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast. Despite its length and importance, it is predominantly single carriageway, although the road has been upgraded in numerous places. It is 174 miles long.
