Holyhead...nice from a distance

Once the ferry got to Wales, I had some spare time, so took a look around Holyhead. The approach to the town from the harbour has been made pretty stunning.

The middle of the bridge has lots of round plaques...these two reminded me of the animals I'd seen in Ireland.

The town itself is fairly nondescript. Some nice sea views, and this church is on the site of Caer Gybi, the original Roman fort here. It's meant to have some nice stained glass inside by Burne Jones, but it seemed to be locked up.

Otherwise...one grubby main street, not worth bothering with.
