Any recommendations for this would be much appreciated. V1-6 range , easy access....and no ticks!

Are you sure? I can actually see Brynsiencyn from my house but I have never heard of any climbing there.

Nothing at bryn I’m afraid. The closest bouldering is around menai bridge but they are only very minor venues

 Britannia bridge boulder and the hendy boulders. 

Benllech area has a good selection of problems that are fine for the solo boulderer with a couple of pads. All details are on the UKC but not in any guide book as yet. 
 

castell mawr  benllech beach and benllech. 
 

im only suggesting these as I assume you are looking for the closest venues to where you are staying. Easy if you have transport but I’m not sure about bus services.

The Marquess Boulder at Menai Bridge is probably your closest venue, has the added benefit of having the Indy climbing wall within walking distance down the road!

Benllech as others have said is a solid choice.

You could join the Anglesey coastal path easily from Brynsiencyn and head up the west coast, there will be an abundance of choice along that coast for a keen eye.

No useful advice but this amused me having grown up in Bryn! As it happens, the garden at my parents house has a rock face in it, but only because it is a level below the high street (so must have been excavated out when the houses on that side of the road were built). Lots of brambles and bird shit on it though so probably not worth the effort…

Benllech looks perfect...ukc crag section suggests you can get away without a matt as it's got beach landings....I won't have a mat , so that's perfect! Thanks again everyone

As a side note - Indy climbing wall hire pads out - https://www.indyclimbingwall.co.uk/bouldering-pad-rental/ - if that’s helpful for ya!
