Small black container. The hint is important to the finding. Co-ords are not dead on but very close now.
Trearddur Bay is a village is located south of Holyhead on the west coast of Holy Island off the north-west coast of Anglesey in Wales. The population is c.1000.
We have many happy memories here and my Great Grandfather built the Bay Leaf (now a Public House) and opened it as Morfa Cafe in the early 20c.
The historical name for Trearddur Bay is Towyn Capel or Tywyn y Capel, and at the centre of the beach lies an ancient burial ground known by the old names and which was excavated in 2003. Which my old Gran remembered reburying the bones when they became exposed when she was a child in the 1920's!
On the far end of the beach (the cache side) you can see the remains of an ancient forest when the tide is out. The tree stumps are still clearly visible and there are tar patches when the sand exposes them.
There are two general shops in the centre of the village, two golf courses (one 18-hole, and one small 9-hole), and many hotels including a large hotel, Trearddur Bay Hotel, which overlooks the beach where my gran worked as a young woman.
On the two beaches—Porth Dafarch and the main beach—there are some shallow scuba diving sites, and the main beach is one of the tourist hotspots of Anglesey. There is excellent sea fishing in the area.
The roads can be busy especially in summer so watch the kid cachers.
Well done Stevetash FTF I was getting a bit worried there!
