Cors Goch

Cors Goch Link

is managed by the North Wales Wildlife Trust. It is largely a fen habitat, unusual for Anglesey, and many species of birds have been seen here (87 according to this list Link

; on this winter visit I saw raven, sparrowhawk and snipe among others). A fence marking a field boundary can be seen on the left and houses at Rhuddlan Fawr on the horizon. The 'stepping stones' of the map are a boardwalk and waterproof footwear is a must! I appeared to be the only visitor to the site that afternoon and few Geographers have ventured here to record it.

The present and former roads to Llanbedrgoch

In the foreground is part of a little loop of road which runs past the house of Bettws y Gwynt. This must have once been part of the road which runs northwards from Llanbedrgoch and been left out when the road was straightened; the road's new course can be seen at the end. Sat-navs think it is still possible to loop round but any driver trying to do this will find themselves in a thicket of brambles.

Beach Road, Benllech

Here Beach Road meets Bangor Road and Llangefni Road. An old-style fingerpost (on the left) and a modern direction sign (on the right) are both visible. There is plenty of choice if you want to eat seafood in Benllech; including here the Jolly Fryer and far left Siop Y Cranc/The Crab Shop Link

. Between them is the main car park for the village.
