Anglesey is a
relatively low lying island with low hills such as Parys Mountain, Cadair Mynachdy
("chair of the monastery"; or Monachdy); there is a Nanner, convent,
not far away), Mynydd Bodafon and Holyhead Mountain. The island is separated from
the Welsh mainland by Menai Strait, which at its narrowest point is about 250
meters wide.
Anglesey has several small towns scattered around the island,
making it quite evenly populated. Beaumaris (Welsh: Biwmares), in the east of
the island, features Beaumaris Castle, built by Edward I as part of his campaign
in North Wales. Beaumaris acts as a yachting centre for the region with many boats
moored in the bay or off Gallows Point. The town of Newborough (Welsh: Niwbwrch),
in the south, created when the townfolk of Llanfaes were relocated to make way
for the building of Beaumaris Castle, includes the site of Llys Rhosyr, another
of the courts of the mediaeval Welsh princes, which features one of the oldest
courtrooms in the United Kingdom. Llangefni is located in the centre of the island
and is also the island's administrative centre. The town of Menai Bridge (Welsh:
Porthaethwy) (in the south-east) expanded when the first bridge to the mainland
was being built, in order to accommodate workers and construction. Up until that
time Porthaethwy had been one of the principal ferry crossing points from the
mainland. A short distance from this town lies Bryn Celli Ddu, a Stone Age burial
mound. Also nearby is the village with the longest official place name in the
United Kingdom, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Near
it is Plas Newydd, ancestral home of the Marquesses of Anglesey. The town of Amlwch
is situated in the northeast of the island and was once largely industrialised,
having grown during the 18th century supporting the copper mining industry at
Parys Mountain.
Other towns and settlements include Cemaes, Benllech, Pentraeth, Gaerwen, Dwyran, Bodedern and Rhosneigr.
The island's rural coastline features many sandy beaches, especially along its eastern coast between the towns of Beaumaris and Amlwch and along the western coast from Ynys Llanddwyn through Rhosneigr to the little bays around Carmel Head. The northern coastline is characterised by dramatic cliffs interspersed with small bays. The Anglesey Coastal Path is a 125 miles (201 km) path which follows nearly the entire coastline. Tourism is now the most significant economic activity on the island. Agriculture provides the secondary source of income for the island's economy, with the local dairies being amongst the most productive in the region. There has also a nuclear power station, at Wylfa Head on the north coast. The Royal Air Force base RAF Valley (Fali).
Amlwch is the most northerly town in Wales. It is situated in the north east of the Isle of Anglesey, just off the North Wales coast and on the A5025.
The name Amlwch – a reference to the site of the town's harbour, Porth Amlwch – derives from Welsh am ("on, around") and llwch (an old word meaning "inlet, creek").
According to legend in the Middle Ages the town developed on a site that had a harbour but was not visible from the sea which helped to reduce the chance of Viking attacks.
