Geocache Description:

Our Cache is placed on Llanddwyn Island off the west coast of Anglesey. There are a few steps to negotiate, and you will need to cross a bit of beach, so sensible footwear is needed. You might struggle with a buggy.

With the Cat Face kittens away on holiday for the festive period, CatFaceMartin and Kerry decided to go for a romantic christmas day walk. CatFaceKerry came across this lovely place...

Ynys Llanddwyn or Llanddwyn Island is a small tidal island off the west coast of Anglesey, North Wales. The nearest town is Newborough, Anglesey Newborough.

This is a truly magical place - not quite an island, except at the highest tides, but with amazing views of Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula. Walking along Newborough beach on Ynys Llanddwyn - the Welsh name for the island - you find … pretty much nothing, which is the great attraction: no pubs or restaurants, just forest, dunes and beach. In the summer, the beach is home to sunbathers and tourists but in the winter it returns to a much wilder state. There is car parking in the village of Newborough but most locals start the walk a mile or so further down the forest road, in a purpose-built car park. Walk from there to the main beach entrance and then turn right toward Llandwyn

St Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, built a church on the island in the 5th century, after an unhappy love affair; it is long gone now, but there are the ruins of a 16th-century church. The Bull's Head, in Beaumaris, makes for a good reintroduction to humanity after your walk in the wilderness.
