Anglesey History
The Isle of Anglesey has for long played a pivotal role in Welsh history. Time and time again the Island has attracted invaders intent on settling in this fertile corner of Wales. Even the name Anglesey derives from the Norse language - a legacy of Viking influence. All these people have left their mark on the Island.

Anglesey boasts many archaeological relics of the prehistoric period. There are superb 'Neolithic' burial chambers such as the famous sites of Bryn Celli Ddu and Barclodiad y Gawres, with its marvellous decorated stones. At Din Lligwy near Moelfre and at Ty Mawr near South Stack you can still see the magnificent remains of 'Celtic villages'.

In the Dark Ages Anglesey became the power base of the rulers of the kingdom of Gwynedd. One of their royal courts, Llys Rhosyr, has recently been discovered near the village of Newborough . At Penmon you can see the beautiful Romanesque architecture of the island's most complete medieval monastery. As the Age of the Princes drew to a close King Edward I built a magnificent castle at Beaumaris. You can also explore the atmospheric interiors of the Victorian Gaol and Courthouse sited in this historic town.

The maritime museum in Holyhead and the Seawatch Centre at Moelfre recall the close connection of the Island with the sea and, in particular the numerous wrecks that litter its shores. Near the port of Amlwch is the site of Parys Mountain, once the greatest copper mine in the world. Its 'lunar' landscapes are unforgettable. Other ruins from the industrial period are scattered across the island, such as the atmospheric sites of Porth Llanlleiana and Porth Wen, sites that were once home to a flourishing china clay and brick industry.

Plas Newydd near Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll is one of the finest houses on the island - once home to the 1st Marquess of Anglesey. Every part of the Island is rich in history and heritage. Not for nothing is the Island known as Mon Mam Cymru - Anglesey the Mother of Wales.

Anglesey also has the village with the longest place name in Britain:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch The name, when translated into English, means "The church of St. Mary in a hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and near St. Tysilio's church by the red cave". The name was actually coined in the nineteenth century to attract tourists to the Island. It is abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair P.G. by the locals. The correct name is now Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll.
