Rhoscolyn Trip Notes
This sandy crescent hidden on the most Southernly point of Holyhead, is the beautiful beach of Roscolyn “Borth Wen Beach”. You will find your starting point, winding through the country roads of Anglesey, leading to the carpark right on the boarders of the beach.
As you venture into the waters of the Irish Sea, you will encounter tiny rocky outcrops peaking up from the golden sands. Whist you enjoy the view of the different coloured seaweeds, you will continue to swim outwards towards the mouth of the bay.
Reaching the mouth of this sheltered crescent, you will be guided around the large rocky island, home to a variety of different seabirds. This swim will give you a viewpoint from a total different perspective, letting you glance upon these magnificent creatures in their natural settings, an image to remember for ever.
You will then be guided through the weaving passageways of the larger rocky outcrops, swimming with the assisted tide as you glide into the neighbouring inlet. Here you will swim through the inlet of towering cliffs sides, towards to the open sandy cove. From here we head back over the natural ridge into the bay we started in, swimming back towards the beach for warm refreshments and cake. The perfect finish to your swim.
