Highlight • Pub

By my reckoning, the Owain Glyndwr Inn is the highest pub on/in Anglesey. Happy to learn if I'm wrong!

Anglesey is an island in Wales, off the mainland's northwest coast. It's known for its beaches and ancient sites. The island is accessed by the 19th-century Menai Suspension Bridge and the Britannia Bridge, rebuilt in the 20th century. In the medieval town of Beaumaris, 13th-century Beaumaris Castle has concentric fortifications and a moat. Beaumaris Gaol has Victorian punishment cells and an original tread wheel.

Mynydd Bodafon is a small collection of peaks including Yr Arwydd which is the highest point on the island of Anglesey. It lies about 2+1⁄2 miles west of the coastal town of Moelfre and ⅔ of a mile south-west of the hamlet of Brynrefail. The meaning of Bodafon is obscure.

Lligwy Burial Chamber

Highlight • Historical Site

Lligwy burial chamber has a low, squat appearance, dominated by its massive capstone, which is estimated to weigh some 25 tons.
Lligwy burial chamber is around 5,000 years old and dates to the Neolithic period or New Stone Age. It consists of eight low uprights supporting a massive capstone, some 5.5 meters by 4.6 meters. This great capstone is about 1.5 meters above the bottom of a natural fissure in the limestone rock, and the supporting uprights sit on the rock at the edge of the fissure or on rough stone walling.

The way the capstone, which weighs some 25 tons sits so low over a pit gives the tomb a very unusual, squat appearance.

Excavations at this tomb in 1908 revealed the bones of between 15 and 30 individuals — men, women and children. Animal bones and shells were also found, together with flint implements, a bone pin and pottery.

The form of decoration of the pottery indicate that the chamber was in use during the Neolithic and early Bronze Age periods.
