Thursday 17th May

Today we visited Parys Mountain near Amlwch.

Parys Mountain has been mined for various minerals since the Bronze Age.

It is a weird landscape where there is almost no vegetation due to the poisonous nature of the mining residues. 

We moved on to the nearby Iron Age/Roman village at Din Lligwy.

This particular traditional roundhouse is very well preserved.

There is also a ruined medieval chapel nearby,

Also nearby is a neolithic burial chamber about 4500 years old.

We stopped for the day by the beach at Llanddona.

Here's the view through the sliding door on the side of our van.

The beach here has an EU blue flag indicating good water quality.

Behind our parking place there is thick woodland.

Narrow paths lead into the woodland where there are shady clearings with picnic benches.

Today we travelled 59 miles (95 kilometres). We are at N53.30328 W4.15160
