Anglesey Crowned the UK’s Best Island – and Here’s Why It Should Be Your Next Escape

There’s something irresistible about an island getaway, the fresh sea air, scenic landscapes, and a sense of peaceful escape. And now, The Telegraph has made it official: Anglesey is the #1 island in Britain, topping a list of over 40 British islands, and we couldn’t agree more.

Just over two hours from Greater Manchester, this North Wales gem beat out big names like Jersey, the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man. But what makes Anglesey so special?

Why Anglesey?

The Telegraph ranked islands based on a variety of factors: from weather and population density to heritage railways, coastal paths, Michelin-starred restaurants, and even the presence of vineyards or distilleries.

Anglesey came out on top thanks to:

• Two UNESCO World Heritage Sites
• A 125-mile coastal path circling the island
• The legendary Beaumaris Castle
• The acclaimed Sosban & The Old Butchers, a Michelin-starred dining experience
• Rich history, stunning beaches, and countless hidden gems

Whether you’re looking for history, hiking, fine food, or just a relaxing break, Anglesey delivers.
