Holyhead

Holyhead is the largest town in the county of Ynys Môn (Anglesey) in the northwest of Wales, United Kingdom. Although it is the largest town in the county, it is not actually on the island of Anglesey but is instead located on Holy Island which is connected to Anglesey by a causeway which carries the A5/A55 road and the railway line to Chester, Crewe and London.

Holyhead is perhaps most well known for its busy ferry port and freight harbour. Passenger ferries and container ships sail to Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, and to Dublin, Ireland, and this forms the principal link for surface transport from central and northern England to Ireland.
