Holyhead Maritime Museum

“Excellent little museum made especially memorable by its team of volunteers, from the friendly ladies at the welcome desk to the local guides inside who achieved the difficult balance of not being obtrusive, but also on hand with anecdotes, enlightening details, and help with the kid's quiz. We walked from the train station and it was absolutely worth it. Sometimes it seems a shame that charity run endeavours like this can't pay for staff, but if the volunteers here were on the payroll, they'd all deserve a raise. Lots for adults to read and learn, and plenty to keep kids entertained for an hour, too. A brilliant little museum with an even more brilliant team of volunteers. Totally recommended.”

“Lovely place! Friendly staff (volunteers?) who were knowledgeable. Crammed full of interesting things to see and a great price for somewhere you can easily spend 2-3 hours. Nice wee gift shop as well. Free parking nearby.”

“A small but very informative museum. Well worth the entrance fee that also includes access to a WW2 air raid shelter. We learned a lot about the heros that head out in the worst of storms to rescue stricken ships.”
