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.

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.

Brynsiencyn church
Brynsiencyn church
Church of St Nidan, Llanidan The original church stood about 400 yards from the Menai Strait and was demolished long ago. Today's church, built in 1843, stands besides the A4080 on the outskirts of Brynsiencyn. It has an unusual square clock tower with a ground floor porch which also provides access to a balcony. The vestry and organ are housed in part circular rooms off the transepts. The decorated circular bowl font, standing on an octagonal base, is early 13th century and came from the old church as did the 14th century bell.
