Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones — Attraction in Trearddur

Tucked away on Holy Island near Holyhead, the Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones are one of Anglesey’s quieter prehistoric treasures. Believed to date from the Bronze Age (around 2000 BC), the site consists of two upright stones about 3 metres tall, standing roughly 3 metres apart on open farmland with sweeping views towards Holyhead Mountain and the Irish Sea.

Their purpose remains a mystery — possibly part of a former stone circle or a ritual marker aligned with the surrounding landscape. What’s certain is their enduring presence: thousands of years exposed to Welsh weather, yet still perfectly balanced in their windswept field.

Access is via a short walk through a gate and across grassland, so decent footwear is a good idea. There’s no visitor centre or big car park here, just the stones, the silence and the occasional seabird — which is precisely what makes it so special.

If you enjoy sites that feel untouched and slightly mysterious, this is worth the detour. Visit early morning or late afternoon for the best light and atmosphere. The stones are cared for by Cadw, and entry is free all year round.

A simple, peaceful glimpse into prehistoric Wales — and one of Anglesey’s most quietly powerful spots.

These two Bronze Age standing stones have an uncertain past but it is thought that they may have been part of a larger stone circle and it is said that a grave containing bones and arrowheads was found between the stones but no concrete evidence exists of this. They may also have been linked to the nearby Plas Meilw settlement and are sometimes referred to as The Plas Meilw stones. They face perfectly North and South, pointing in the one direction to Holyhead mountain and to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in the other. It is more than probable that this was purposeful. If you are interested in ancient history then these stones are very noteworthy and the view from the stones on a clear day is very impressive. The stones are easily found by car, and there is parking space at the kissing gate and signpost for two cars. The 60 metre or so walk to the stones is on dry grass with a worn pathway up a gentle slope so nothing strenuous here to put it mildly. An underrated...

Like most standing stone's there's a truly spiritual feel about them.But there's only two upright stone's with access from one path from a road next to a private house. There's no car park just a grass verge to park up by but stunning views of Holy Mountain and the surrounding sea and countryside some stunning pictures to be taken. The monument is a few thousand years old and confirms the truly impressive neolithic peoples building skills and obviously thier existence where unfortunately modern day religions can't compare ..Angelsey itself is just a picturesque place and at the moment not over commercial let's hope it stays like it to embrace this truly...
