The village of Abergwyngregyn (often shortened to Aber) is on the north coast of Wales, a few miles east of Bangor. The Mound: Pen-y-Mwd is a substantial, steep-sided, sub-circular earthwork. It is a classic Motte, which is the high mound of a motte-and-bailey castle. It measures roughly 22 feet (6.7 meters) high. Motte and Bailey: Traces of a surrounding ditch and a potential Bailey (the outer defensive enclosure) to the south-east have been identified. The motte itself has never been excavated.

This is a pretty cycleway out of Caernarfron with gorgeous views across to Anglesy.

Beautiful views with stones and sandy beaches. Well worth a stop to soak it all up.

Beaumaris Castle (/bjuːˈmærɪs/ bew-MAR-is; Welsh: Castell Biwmares Welsh pronunciation: [kastɛɬ bɪuˈmaːrɛs]), in Beaumaris, Anglesey, was built as part of Edward I's campaign to conquer north Wales after 1282. Plans were probably first made to construct the castle in 1284, but this was delayed due to lack of funds and work only began in 1295 following the Madog ap Llywelyn uprising. A substantial workforce was employed in the initial years under the direction of James of St George. Edward's invasion of Scotland soon diverted funding from the project, however, and work stopped, only recommencing after an invasion scare in 1306. When work finally ceased around 1330 a total of £15,000 had been spent, a huge sum for the period, but the castle remained incomplete.

This tranquil location on the eastern tip of Anglesey has remains spanning over 1,000 years. It was the site of a monastery dating back to the time of St. Seiriol, who is believed to have lived in about the 6th century. A holy well which survives may have its origins in this period. In the early 13th century the Celtic community was reorganized under the Augustinian Rule, and at this time the priory church was enlarged. This now serves as the parish church. The monastery at Penmon is reputed to have been founded by St Seiriol, a 6th-century holyman and friend of St Cybi. The monastery prospered and in the 10th century fine crosses were set up at its gates, but the Viking raids have destroyed all other evidence of this date. During the 12th century, revival under Gruffydd ap Cynan and Owain Gwynedd the abbey church was rebuilt, and it remains the finest and most complete example of a church of this period in Gwynedd. In the 13th century the Celtic monasteries were persuaded by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth to adopt a more regular rule, and Penmon eventually became an Augustinian priory with quite substantial conventual buildings. The priory survived the Edwardian conquest and expanded slightly, but was dissolved in 1538. The buildings passed into the hands of the Bulkeleys of Beaumaris, who enclosed much of the land as a deep park and built a fine dovecote. They also converted the prior's lodging into a rather attractive house. Throughout this time the priory church remained in use, as it does today

One of the most popular beaches in Anglesey – but perhaps not for the same reasons as the others. Penmon Point Beach is an incredible part of the Anglesey coast. From the beach, you have great views of the nearby Puffin Island and the Trwyn Du Lighthouse. Trwyn Du Lighthouse also known as Penmon Lighthouse, was built in 1838 to mark the north entrance to the Menai Strait. The water is choppy, so swimming isn’t recommended. However, the currents make it a great fishing area and wildlife lovers will appreciate the abundance of wildlife around the beach. There is a toll of about £2.50 if you drive on to the Point. Free for cyclists and facilities include a café & toilets. Dogs are allowed throughout the year and there is no lifeguard service available for this beach.

The eastern tip of Anglesey, looking across to Puffin Island. The car park surface is pretty rough.

One of Edward I’s great Welsh fortresses, a notable landmark as you enter the town.

Cool castle with an exciting history. It's worth a visit and there are many corridors in the castle to explore.

Be prepared for a climb back from the viewpoint

The holy well (with reputed healing properties) that bears his name is thought to be associated with this period, though the ‘cell’ that houses it is a much later construction.

The dovecote contains over 900 nest sites. This is also where the toll road begins.
