Isalt Bach, Trearddur Bay (N53°17’ W4°37’)
Trearddur Bay is located on the Isle of Anglesey which is situated off the north west coast of Wales and is separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait. The little cove at Isallt Bach is one of a number around Trearddur Bay which translates as “Arthurs Bay” in English. It is one of the most popular parts of the island as it makes a beautiful location for sailing, scuba diving and other water sports and also the beach was awarded a Blue Flag in 2005. At the centre of the beach lies an ancient burial ground which was recently excavated. The Isle of Anglesey has a long history and the name is thought to have come from the Vikings. During the Middle Ages it was also known as Mam Cymru (Mother of Wales) because of its fertile soil and abundant crops which supplied the north of Wales. Anglesey also has the village with the longest place name in Britain: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which translates into “The church of St. Mary in a hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and near St. Tysilio’s church by the red cave”.
