Exciting plans are brewing for Holyhead, and they’re as bold as they are visionary! Local architectural dynamo Dafydd Edwards is on a mission to bring fresh life and innovation to the port town. Imagine a world where ferry-themed hotels and cable cars over the sea redefine your travel experience. Crazy golf with a twist, family-friendly indoor attractions, a museum celebrating local heritage—these are just a taste of what’s on the table!
Dafydd’s motto? It’s more outrageous to do nothing than to dream big. With millions of ferry and cruise passengers passing through each year, the potential is massive, and it’s time to tap into it. Frustrated by past investments that missed the mark, Dafydd believes Holyhead should be booming by now, and he’s not alone.
Among the grand ideas is relocating the railway station to Anglesey Aluminium’s old site, complete with a sleek tram route connecting visitors to the town’s hotspots. Indoor escape rooms, bowling alleys, and more cafes and shops could transform Holyhead into a bustling hub of activity.
And if you’re craving a unique adventure, picture cable cars offering breathtaking views of sea cliffs, puffins, and the restless sea below—a truly world-class experience!
With £22.5m already poured into bolstering Holyhead through various projects, including the newly revamped Empire Complex and the dynamic Ucheldre Centre, it’s clear the momentum is building. Anglesey’s share of a £200m National Lottery Heritage Fund promises even more potential for growth and connection to heritage.
Holyhead’s bright future hinges on imagination and action. It’s time to visualise a vibrant future, not repeat the past. Will you be part of the revolution? 💡✨ #HolyheadRevival #DreamBig
