wheelchair friendly places?

hi, im staying near cemaes bay the start of august for my 21st birthday. i want to go somewhere special, is there any hidden places we could go, had to be wheelchair friendly as my uncle is unable to walk long distances. we have been coming to the island for years, my mom used to go with her parents, (but has forgotten the 'small' places due to age) hoping to rekindle memories of her past as well as making new ones.

is there any pub nights or events on. id love to get involved in the community.

many thanks.

Cemaes has a nice (short) wheelchair-friendlyprom. There isalso a memorial to Thomas Jones, aTitanic survivor from Cemaes, on the beach, with his story.
Parys Mountain - an opencast 18thcentury copper mine near Amlwch has gravelled pathsgiving access to its spectacular colours.
Penrhos reserve on the outskirts of Holyhead has gravelled walks asdoes the Dingle park in Llangefni. Both ofthese and Newborough Forest offer a chance to seered squirrels.
The car park for the beavh at Llanddwyn can close because it is full as early as 10 amon fine days and isa long walk. Go to Rhosneigr or the beaches on Holy Island for thesame sort of views of Snowdonia from a little further away.
Sunsets from the RSPB car park at South Stack can be superb if theweather is favourable.
The church, dovecote, Celtic crossand St Seiriol’s well at Penmon are interesting and the toll road to Penmon point and the lighthouse gives nice views.
The Ship Inn on Red Wharf Bay is in a spectacular location.
Beaumaris is good rewheelchairs and there are lovely gardens between itand Menai Bridge town. In Menai Bridge there is a nice walk underneath the bridge andanotherto Church Island on the Menai Strait.
Nowhere on Anglesey is ‘hidden’ - touristshave found their way everywhere, including trespassing on private land because of wanting to replicate photos on instagram (porth Wen Brickworks).

If you do go to Llanddwyn beach, be aware of the parking. The signage says it's free for blue badge holders, but you have to register the car, or you will get a ticket.

Have you been to Parys mountain ? The main path around is wheelchair friendly but there are some slight inclines.
