Tucked away on the rugged West side of the Isle of Anglesey, this stunning circuit is a slice of petrolhead paradise. Getting there is straightforward enough, but beware of the speed ramps on the approach road—they’ll remind you you’re not on the track just yet.
Anglesey Circuit is a versatile playground offering car, rally, and motorcycle track days, as well as circuit experiences and advanced driving courses. The track was extensively restructured in 2006-2007 to create its current four configurations: the sweeping 2.1-mile International Circuit, the challenging 1.55-mile Coastal Circuit, the compact 1.2-mile National Circuit, and the tight 0.8-mile Club Circuit. Each variation offers something special, from technical twists to breathtaking speed sections.
With its smooth surface and generous 12-metre-wide track, Anglesey is a dream for novices and seasoned racers alike. But the real showstopper here is the setting. Perched above the iconic Corkscrew, Peel, and Rocket complex, the circuit treats spectators to panoramic views of high-speed action against the dramatic backdrop of the Irish Sea. Bring a camera—it’s motorsport, but make it scenic.
That said, facilities are minimal. There’s no fancy paddock here; just a humble burger truck for your hunger pangs. And without garages, you’ll want to pack a raincoat if the Welsh weather decides to make an appearance.
On the track, Turn 1 sets the tone. It’s a lightning-fast entry that demands precision—minimal runoff to the inside means there’s no room for error. Nail the exit and line yourself up perfectly for the Bookatrack Hairpin, where braking and control are the keys to success.
Anglesey Circuit may lack some creature comforts, but it more than makes up for it with its sheer character, stunning views, and thrilling layouts. For those who like their racing raw and their scenery spectacular, this is one destination worth every mile of the journey.
