Carmel Head, Protected coastal headland in Isle of Anglesey, United Kingdom
The northwest tip of Anglesey features Carmel Head, rising 81 meters above sea level with exposed cliffs revealing ancient Precambrian gneiss formations.
During the early 19th century, the Great Carmel's Points copper mine operated at this location, extending over 1500 feet in search of mineral connections.
The Welsh name Trwyn y Gadair reflects the regional linguistic heritage, while the National Trust manages the land for environmental preservation.
The Anglesey Coastal Path provides access to Carmel Head during summer months, though winter closures occur for seasonal pheasant hunting activities.
Three navigation towers known as White Ladies, constructed in the 1860s, form a sight-line marking dangerous underwater rocks off the headland coast.
