Apr 2025 - (with Gemma) Too hot and hazy on the tops today so a little coastal walk on Anglesey was enjoyed. After a stop at LlainfairPG's Railway Station for the obligatory photo, we visited Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber, before driving to Llanddwyn Bay. Plenty of folk about enjoying the sun and gentle breeze. The island is a fascinating place and is of geological interest with pillow lava, jasper formations and aeolian sand deposits. The island forms part of the National Nature Reserve of Newborough Warren which includes the extensive and floristically rich sand dune system. It's a tidal island; it remains attached to the mainland except at high tide. It provides views of Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula. Tŵr Mawr lighthouse marks the western entrance to the Menai Strait. The island is rich in legends, in particular in its association with Dwynwen. The name Llanddwyn means "The church of St. Dwynwen". Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, making her the Welsh equivalent of St. Valentine. Her Saint's day is 25 January and is often celebrated by the Welsh with cards and flowers. The island bears the ruined remains of St Dwynwen's Church. We loved it.
