The largest town on Anglesey (Holyhead is twice the size but is technically on Holy Island). Now bypassed by the island’s main roads which actually makes it a decent hub if you’re cycling across the south of the island.

The Dingle Local Nature Reserve is a 10 hectare (25 acre) wooded valley rich in wildlife and history. It is bisected by the river Cefni, which comes from the Welsh word "cafn" meaning trough or hollow. The Dingle is a steep sided gorge formed by glacial meltwater during the last ice age hence one of its Welsh names Nant y Dilyw - Valley of the Deluge. Another name for the Dingle is Nant y Pandy - Brook of the Fulling Mill. This refers to the old wool processing plant situated upstream. Much of the reserve is ancient woodland which led to it being known as the Dingle as early as the 1830s. Dingle literally means steep wooded valley.
