Trwyn Cwmrwd is a prominent headland located on the western coast of the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales. This coastal feature is situated near the village of Aberffraw and overlooks the Irish Sea. The headland is characterized by its rugged and rocky terrain, offering visitors stunning panoramic views of the surrounding coastal landscape.

Trwyn Cwmrwd serves as a popular tourist attraction due to its natural beauty and historical significance. The headland is known for its dramatic cliffs, which reach heights of up to 30 meters (98 feet) in some areas. These cliffs provide nesting sites for a variety of seabirds, including razorbills, guillemots, and kittiwakes, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

In addition to its natural features, Trwyn Cwmrwd also boasts an ancient burial mound known as Bryn Celli Ddu. This Neolithic site dates back to around 5,000 years ago and is believed to have been a ceremonial and burial site. The mound is aligned with the sunrise on the summer solstice, allowing visitors to witness a unique astronomical phenomenon.

Access to Trwyn Cwmrwd is relatively easy, with a footpath leading from the nearby village of Aberffraw. The headland is also part of the Anglesey Coastal Path, a popular walking route that stretches around the entire island. Visitors can explore the headland, enjoy its scenic beauty, and learn about its historical significance, making Trwyn Cwmrwd a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Ynys Dulas from Traeth yr Ora If you squint a little it is almost Grecian. The tower was built in the 1920s by Lady Dorina Neave, a local aristo, to save shipwrecked seamen (by providing shelter, and food was also stocked there).
