We are pleased to announce that starting on the 25th of February, we will be hosting an online lecture series, ‘Understanding the Earth – global to local’, led by Chris Wilson – Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at the Open University.

A key objective of the talks is to encourage participants to look at local rocks and scenery of Anglesey and north Wales with fresh eyes. They reveal 800 million years of Earth history during which the region was blasted by huge volcanic eruptions and covered by shallow tropical seas, deserts, and thick ice sheets. Our understanding of the extent and causes of such enormous past environmental changes is based on our knowledge of how the Earth works today. This approach to investigation — often described as “the present is the key to the past” — will be explored at a global and local scale by the talks. Lectures will continue weekly for 4 weeks and each one will be at 7pm on a Wednesday.

Discover Anglesey’s world-class geoheritage – a UNESCO global geopark of geological wonders.   Anglesey has such special geology that it is recognised by UNESCO as a “global geopark” – a place where the rocks, fossils, landscapes are world-class. Whether you are a geologist or simply enjoy natural beauty and landscape, Anglesey is one of over 200 Geopark sites in the world and more recently recognised as one of the top 100 geosites in the world!  The name GeoMôn is a combination of ‘Geo’ for all things geological /geographical / environmental and ‘Môn’, the Welsh language name for Anglesey. Our coastal footpath will show you our fantastic geology.  To help you explore, we have produced  free trail leaflets for you to download and written several informative guidebooks for you to purchase from our ONLINE SHOP


Our visitor centre (free to visit) is now closed for the winter but watch out for our list of guided walks?
