Day 13 - Trearddur Bay to Holyhead So today we set off, once again in unbelievably fine weather, to walk the final leg (no pun intended!) of our challenge.  I had only vague memories of visiting Trearddur and South Stack lighthouse in the late 1960's when we stayed in a caravan in Benllech, but I hadn't remembered how pretty and interesting the coastal area is as you leave Trearddur Bay.             Well, apart that is from the dark eerie big house perched on the cliffs to the left - is is the  spooky  home of the Addams Family??
