The A4080 road runs for 24½ miles along the southwestern side of Anglesey. It starts on the A5 at Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and passes through several villages before terminating on the A5 between Bryngwran and Gwalchmai.

The coast path takes to the beach

A surprise to find that the Anglesey Coast Path follows the shoreline of the Menai Strait for around half a mile at this point.

Sandbank in Menai Strait

The latest OS map, as used on the Geograph website seems to have shrunk this sandbank, which is quite extensive at low tide. The person with the sailboard collected it and then walked to the shore on this side, never going more than chest deep.

Old jetty on the Anglesey shore

This might have seen use a long time ago, but now it is in a ruinous state.

Stream and pond close to the shore

The stream follows an artificial course down to the shore here, whilst the pond, though quite large, appears to be unnamed. The white building in the distance looks like a cross between a power station and a fort, but is actually a house, known as Castell Gwylan, an early 19th century building which is Grade II listed.

The coast path follows a lane

This section of the Anglesey Coast Path heads a short way inland and follows this tarmacked lane towards Moel -y - Don, after which it is forced to turn well inland for a mile or two.
