Light or Mill

            St Dwynwen's cross overlooking the tower on Ynys llanddwyn.

The 1873 tower is tapered in a style characteristic of Anglesey windmills. It is 33 feet (10 m) high and 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter. It may have been constructed by an Anglesey stone mason, and it is possible that the tower itself was originally used as a windmill.

On what is probably the highest point of Llanddwyn Island stands the huge  hewn from stone. Dwnwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and her day - 25th January - is still marked by some in Wales by the sending of cards and flowers. The cross is inscribed 'On the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria', which I take as a clue that it was erected in 1879.

Ynys Llanddwyn (also known as Llanddwyn Island) is a small tidal island off the west coast of Anglesey (Welsh: Ynys Môn), northwest Wales. The nearest settlement is the village of Newborough.

Ynys Llanddwyn is a tidal island; it remains attached to the mainland except at high tide. It provides views of Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula. Tŵr Mawr lighthouse marks the western entrance to the Menai Strait..
