Tips from the Community
Nice station building featuring the fanous sign with the 58 character long name of the place, which is commonly used in one of its shorter forms. At the tourist trap on the other side of the parling lot is a translation into English, while the sign on the platform provides pronounciation guidance. Probably besides the Marquess of Anglesey's Column the only really highlight in this place.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch The name was coined by a Welshman after the railway line was established in the 19th century to entice tourists to disembark. It still attracts tourists today. Translated into English, the name roughly means: St. Mary at the White Hazel Pool next to the rapids and St. Tysilio Church near the red cave.

Pont Marquis Bridge Spanning the Afon Cefni, carrying the Trefdraeth to Llangaffo road, c. 3km ENE of Malltraeth. The bridge, which is Grade II listed, was built in the early C19, was named for the Earl of Uxbridge, first Marquis of Anglesey. It gives wonderful scenery over the marsh land and plenty of wildlife.

The path is fairly easy to miss if you’re coming along the A5: look for the section of railing by the roadside which marks the entrance. The path itself has some awkward narrow turns where it passes under the A55 but after that it’s wide, smooth and usually clear.

The only crossing point for the Afon Cefni between the coast and the A5, with great views over the marshes and the straightened channel of the river.

Afon Cefni is one of the major rivers on the island of Anglesey, Wales. It is 16.9 kilometres long. Its source is near to the village of Capel Coch, before flowing through Bodffordd and into Llyn Cefni in the centre of the island. It continues to run south through the county town of Llangefni

There has been human activity and settlement in the area of the village since the Neolithic era (4000–2000 BC), with subsistence agriculture and fishing the most common occupations for much of its early history. The island of Anglesey was at that point reachable only by boat across the Menai Strait. A largely destroyed, collapsed dolmen can be found from this period in the parish, located at Ty Mawr north of the present-day church; early Ordnance Survey maps show a long cairn on the site. The probable remains of a hillfort, with a fragmentary bank and ditch, were recorded on an outcrop known as Craig y Ddinas.
