Plas Llanfair benefits from being situated within an 'area of outstanding natural beauty'.

A further variety of short and  longer walks can be made from the property. These can be clearly planned using the pathfinder maps.

On request equipment and/or luggage can be transported to an alternative venue where visitors may make an overnight stay or extend their holiday on a different part of the island in order to undertake some of the other recognised walks on the island, such as the circular Celtic Saints walks. We already have a commercial van which is suitable for the transportation of bikes etc.

The cycle route ‘Hebog’ (Falcon) established in 1997 as part of the Anglesey cycle routes (and national development of cycle routes) traverses the entrance and runs along the property’s perimeter. Again, we will fulfil the criteria to meet the WTB ‘Cyclists Welcome Scheme’ in order to contribute to the development and promotion of cycle tourism in the area and nationally. When planning their holiday to the area visitors may decide to a 2 centre break. On request equipment and/or luggage can be transported to an alternative venue where visitors may make an overnight stay or extend their holiday on a different part of the island.
