Isle of Anglesey

The Isle of Anglesey stretches across 275 square miles of land, separated from mainland Wales by the Menai Strait and surrounded by the Irish Sea.

The Romans conquered Anglesey in 78 CE after encountering resistance from Celtic druids who had established a significant religious center on the island.

The medieval royal court at Aberffraw positioned Anglesey as a center of Welsh governance from the 7th to 13th centuries, influencing regional politics and traditions.

Visitors can access the island via two bridges across the Menai Strait: the Menai Suspension Bridge and the Britannia Bridge, connecting to mainland Wales.

The Halen Môn sea salt production facility extracts minerals from the waters surrounding Anglesey to create salt products distributed to restaurants worldwide.
