Telford's suspension bridge linking Anglesey to the mainland
The landscape behind the village of Penysarn, Angelsey
Parys mountain on Anglesey was rich in copper and heavily mined in the 18th and 19th centuries (it provided the copper for the hull of HMS Victory). It was once the biggest man made hole in Europe. Now just an eyesore. The building on top of the hill is the remains of an old windmill used for pumping water from the mine workings. The cottage where we stayed in Penysarn had great views of this.
Newborough Beach, AngleseyThe best place in Anglesey - fantastic crescent of sand with the mountains of Snowdonia behind.
Anglesey would not be in my list of top places to visit. Nowhere to eat out, nowhere to buy anything decent to eat in, uninteresting scenery, plenty of birds - stay on the A5 and catch the ferry to Dublin.
