Thought it was a challenge just saying the name of the place? Join us at Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch for a 30m abseil on Sunday May 16th at 10am.
As well as the long name, the village of Llanfair PG is also famous for the Marquess of Anglesey's Column, a 27metre high limestone pillar, erected in 1816-17 as a tribute to the Marquess, Henry Paget who lost a leg at the battle of Waterloo.
The Marquess of Anglesey's Column is a very impressive venue for an abseil, perched high a rock which was a hillfort in ancient times, and now surrounded by bluebell woods. Whether you have a head for heights or not, it's worth climbing the 115 steps to the top just to see the spectacular panoramic views of Snowdonia and the Menai Straits, let alone to experience the exhilaration of abseiling almost 30m down again.
With views out to sea across Anglesey and North Wales, you'll be able to see the coastline tackled by our lifeboat crews, as well as nearby lifeboat stations at Moelfre and Beaumaris.
