Llyn Cerrig-bâch is a small freshwater lake located on the island of Anglesey in North Wales. Covering an area of approximately 6 hectares, the lake is situated within the Cors Bodeilio Nature Reserve, a protected site known for its diverse and important wetland habitats.

Surrounded by lush vegetation, Llyn Cerrig-bâch is characterized by its tranquil and picturesque setting. Its name translates to "little lake of the little stones" in Welsh, which accurately describes the rocky shoreline and pebble beach that borders the water's edge. The lake itself is relatively shallow, with an average depth of around 2 meters, and its waters are renowned for their clarity.

The lake supports a rich variety of plant and animal life. Its freshwater marshes and reed beds provide habitat for a range of bird species, including ducks, swans, and herons. Birdwatchers often visit Llyn Cerrig-bâch to observe these feathered inhabitants. The surrounding wetlands are also home to a diverse array of insects, amphibians, and small mammals.

For those seeking recreational activities, Llyn Cerrig-bâch offers opportunities for fishing, albeit on a catch-and-release basis. Anglers can hope to find species such as perch, tench, and roach in its waters.

Overall, Llyn Cerrig-bâch is a serene and ecologically important lake that attracts both nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat in the midst of Anglesey's stunning natural landscapes.

Caergeiliog Chapel Hall: temporary wartime Operations Room

During the Second World War RAF Valley operated as a fighter station for No. 9 Group defending England's industrial north-west and shipping in the Irish Sea. Operations against the enemy were planned and directed initially from this temporary Operations Room at the nearby village of Caergeiliog's chapel hall. A purpose-built Operations Block would be built later, the chapel hall having to suffice until such time as it became operational.
