As part of the Good Journey initiative, we are offering a free regular hot drink to visitors who visit Anglesey Abbey with a valid train ticket, bus ticket or a bike helmet.
In support of the Government's 2024 bus fare cap, we are encouraging visitors to visit Anglesey Abbey more sustainably. Travel to Anglesey Abbey by bike, bus or train and enjoy a stroll through the formal gardens. You can explore the Jacobean-style country house, head to the childrens' play area, do some shopping and warm up with a free regular hot drink at Redwoods Restaurant, the new Garden Office Café or one of the F&B outlets at Anglesey Abbey.
This initiative is being launched by Good Journey, a national organisation promoting car-free days out across the country. Most buses in England are offering £2 Single Fares until 31st December 2024. You can check whether your route is included on the Good Journey website and explore other ways of reaching Anglesey Abbey, including by bike and train.
