Church Island, River island in Menai Strait, Great Britain.
The island connects to Anglesey via a tidal causeway, featuring St Tysilio's Church and a grade-II listed war memorial within its grounds.
Prince Tysilio established a hermitage on the island around 630 AD before relocating to Meifod to assume the position of abbot.
The churchyard contains the graves of notable Welsh figures, including the 20th-century bard Cynan and historian John Edward Lloyd.
Visitors can access the island through a woodland path from the A545 road car park, following the Anglesey Coastal Path to the causeway.
The surrounding waters of the Menai Strait, known as the Swellies, exhibit strong tidal currents that affect maritime navigation.
