Holyhead, Wales
The busy ferry port of Holyhead is located on the far west of the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, and since the time of Elizabeth I, the road running from London to Holyhead has been a vital strategic route, linking England, Wales and the sea route to Ireland. From its proud Celtic roots to its indelible connection to the British Monarchy, Wales is a land rich in art, folklore, and regal pageantry.
