| North Stack North Stack is a redundant Fog Signal Station of local historic significance. The house and buildings date back 200 years. It faces SW and you can look across the magnificent Gogarth Bay towards South Stack Lighthouse (now open to the public) and the RSPB Nature Reserve. The mountain is an interesting place to explore. There are several ancient sites, including the remains of a Roman Fort on the summit and a well preserved collection of Neolithic Hut Circles. The flora and bird life are at their height during the months April to July - the Chough and Peregrine Falcon, and at South Stack, Puffin are among the rarer species to be seen. |
