Amlwch Anglesey Tourist Information

Pretty North Anglesey Coast Amlwch has a fascinating history. Like Merthy Tydfil in the South Wales Valleys, Amlwch has a history connected to mining, but here it's copper mining not coal. An important shipbuilding centre for centuries, copper has been mined here in Amlwch since as far back as the Bronze Age. Copper mining boomed here though in the late 18th and 19th century. Parys Mountain Copper mine just to the south of the town can be reached via the heritage copper trail.

Today Amlwch makes for a stunning North Anglesey base, rich not only in Welsh industrial history, but also it's boats a host of delightful attractions including a little harbour, the nearby award winning Llaneillian beach and superb golf at Bull Bay. Fishing trips for both the experienced and novice are on offer here in Amlwch from the port. See the Amlwch Anglesey Fishing weblink right for details.
