Halen Môn

Salt is the ingredient every cheesemaker and cook relies on and almost nobody sees made, which is what makes this Anglesey producer such a satisfying stop. A relaxed guided tour of the Saltcote, on the shore of the Menai Strait, follows how clean seawater becomes flaky sea salt, with a look behind the scenes of a working Welsh food producer. Every tour includes an interactive salt tasting and a tiny takeaway, and tasting salts side by side is more revealing than it sounds. The views across the water to Eryri (Snowdonia) are a bonus.
