My first visit and summit on Anglesey | bardolph | 27/05/2017 |
After we did Brwdd Arthur we noted rain blotting out Holyhead Mountain but when we arrived at Pengorffwysfa it was sunny. We parked in the village and walked up to the pleasant summit then joined to coast path from Freshwater Bay to Porthyrychen before heading back directly, just catching the first 10 mins of a wet afternoon. Nice 4.5 miles walk. With brother, Pete | pwheeler | 18/09/2016 |

I believe I too met the same pheasant. I avoided attack but he followed me looking aggressive - most unlike other pheasant encounters. There are two paths up. One from a side road to the west and the other from the road to the north but do not go past due | clivevilla | 30/03/2011 |
Like Des I was also attacked by same pheasant, chased me in both directions and even waited for me to drive off | Martin R | 06/03/2011 |
