Holyhead is perhaps most famous for the ferry to Dublin, and for sweeping views of the Irish Sea, but after a choppy crossing or if you need a lift to station ahead of the last train, a reliable taxi number is invaluable.
So whether you’re a local heading into town a tourist just arriving off the boat or need a lift around Anglesey, here’s my hands-on guide to taxi services from Holyhead. Using actual rides, port pickups and the occasional “are you nearly here? phone call.
