Baron Hill Park is an area of parkland north of the town of Beaumaris on Anglesey. It is part of the ancestral land-holding of the Bulkley family and contains the ruins of the former ancestral home, Baron Hill.[1]

Some 112 Ha of parkland is also a designated Site of special scientific interest largely because the woodland has remained largely undisturbed over very many years and is now host to a very wide range of lichen species, mostly epiphytic on trees. The designation also reflected the species range of the lichens which are typical of a high-sunlight, low rainfall environment which is much more typical of southern England but is also characteristic of the benign micro-climate found in parts of Anglesey.

This park-land is privately owned and does not have public access and is within the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
