is situated on the north eastern corner of Anglesey. A small town with a
long history of working traditions, it offers visitors a wide range of
activities. A favourite walk is along the coast from Point Lynas to
Amlwch Port where copper was exported all over the world. Visitors can
also explore the industrial workings of Parys Mountain itself or visit
the local railway museum. Amlwch Industrial Heritage Trust can be
contacted on +44 1407 832277 for more information.
Fishing and golf are popular pastimes across Anglesey and visitors to
Amlwch do not have to travel far to play golf at the Bull Bay golf club
or fish at various locations. Amlwch has a range of local bars and shops
and hosts a local market every Friday.
Amlwch is some fifteen miles from Holyhead and the same distance from
Llangefni. Both these towns are well worth a visit to those with a
historical interest and people wanting to flavour the atmosphere of a
real Welsh town.
Visitors may be interested to know that in 1999 Anglesey received 22
awards for its beaches from the Tidy Britain Group who present awards
based on cleanliness, safety and water standards of each beach. In
addition two beaches, Trearddur Bay and Porth Dafarch received the
European Blue Flag award. Many of the beaches are relatively quite
allowing visitors to relax and unwind.
From Holyhead, ferries operate to Dublin with the superfast ferry only
taking 99 minutes to complete the single journey. A day trip to sample
the wonderful Dublin is easily achievable and is far cheaper that you
think.
History buffs will be well pleased to know Anglesey has a number of both
historic and prehistoric sites close-by, including burial chambers at
Barcloddiad Yr Gawres and a church in the sea at Porth Cwyfan! Llys
Rhosyr, the site of one of the most powerful and charismatic Welsh
mediaeval princes has been discovered near the village of Newborough, on
the South Western corner of the island.
