Mynydd Bodafon

Mynydd Bodafon is a hill on Isle of Anglesey with its highest point, Yr Arwydd, at approximately 178 meters (585 feet). The summit offers views across the northern coastline and toward the open water beyond.

An Iron Age settlement called Cytiau'r Gwyddelod once existed on this hill, showing that people lived here thousands of years ago. The site demonstrates how this location held importance in ancient times.

The Welsh name reflects local linguistic traditions and how people have named this landscape over time. The summit draws walkers who connect with the exposed hillside and its views toward the Irish Sea.

Multiple walking paths lead to the summit from different directions, and there is a designated parking area near the base for visitors arriving by car. The routes are manageable on foot and suit different levels of ability.

A spring-fed pond called Gors Fawr sits on the hillside and contains rare aquatic plants like pillwort that grow nowhere else nearby. Many visitors overlook this hidden water feature while walking past.
