On the last glorious day of walking on Anglesey before the more sedentary day of the 68ers reunion in Menai Bridge, and even more sedentary day following coming home in the car, we wanted to be a very active day. With it's fabulous views of the Snowdonia Range from the end of Llanddwyn Island, we decided that having missed out on seeing it a couple of days ago, we'd start from Malltraeth to ensure we could make it this time. The weather was mostly sunny, with top temperature of 16 degrees and the views when we got to the end of Llanddwyn Island fantastic:

Below having walked through the woods, we reached Traeth Penrhos, one of the most glorious beaches in Wales
backed by sand dunes

a sixteenth century church dedicated to Saint Dwynwen, said to be built on the site of another church built over a thousand years earlier.

The sea was quite rough around the coast at the end of the island
