Exceptions are where the path comes inland from Moel y Don by Plas Newydd estate, and the Bodorgan Estate on the west of the island between Aberffraw and Malltraeth, where the Prince and Princess of Wales used to live.

It cost £1.4 million and runs virtually within the length of the entire Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, using the existing network of public rights of way and some designated permissive paths.

European Objective 1 funds have contributed to this project, which aims to meet the perceived growing demand for coastal walking.

The path has been created by a partnership led by community agency Menter Môn and the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

The Anglesey Coastal Path forms part of the Wales Coast Path, a 1,400-kilometre (870 mi) long-distance walking route around the whole coast of Wales from Chepstow to Queensferry, officially opened in May 2012.
