Discovering the Lleyn Peninsula and AngleseyAuthor: John BaileyDiscovering the Lleyn Peninsula and AngleseyThe Lleyn Peninsula, the arm in the Irish Sea extends some 30 miles west from Snowdonia in North West Wales. An extraordinary landscape of beautiful fishing villages and historic towns, where ancient tracks can still to be found, the landscape enhanced by numerous white-washed farms and a patchwork of enclosed fields. No more than 8 miles wide giving easy access to the contrasting north and south coasts, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1956. Iron Age hill forts, Neolithic tombs, standing stones are all to be found and due to the remoteness of the area it has remained unspoilt. Connected to the mainland by the splendour of Thomas Telford’s suspension bridge opened in 1823, as a result of the act of union, is the Isle of Anglesey Sir Ynys Mon. Anglesey has over 100 miles of diverse coastal environment ranging from sea cliffs, salt marshes, dunes and mud flats all providing a spectacular habitat for a variety of birds plants and wildlife. Edward I iron ring was completed with the building of a castle at Beaumaris overlooking the Menai Strait and the mountains of Snowdonia with Beaumaris today a main yachting centre. Welsh is a very descriptive language and the spelling of place names can vary between maps so I have use the latest ordnance survey maps as a point of reference.
