    About our Anglesey (Ynys Môn) news

    Latest news on Anglesey (Ynys Môn), covering North Wales' largest island, including Holyhead, renewable energy, tourism, Welsh culture, and RAF Valley updates.

    Anglesey, Wales' largest island with a population of around 70,000, is connected to the mainland by the iconic Menai and Britannia bridges. The island serves as a crucial transport hub through Holyhead port's Irish Sea links, while RAF Valley provides advanced fighter pilot training and hosts the RAF Mountain Rescue Service. The island's economy balances traditional sectors with emerging opportunities in renewable energy and tourism.

    The region continues to develop its position as an energy island, with significant investments in renewable projects including tidal, wind, and solar power. Holyhead Port faces ongoing adaptation to post-Brexit trading patterns, while tourism initiatives focus on sustainable development of the island's 125 miles of coastal path and numerous beaches. The island's designation as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) influences planning and development decisions.

    Community life centres around market towns like Llangefni and coastal communities such as Beaumaris, with its UNESCO World Heritage castle. The island maintains strong Welsh-speaking communities, with approximately 57% of residents speaking Welsh. Annual events like the Anglesey Show celebrate the island's agricultural heritage, while the Anglesey Circuit attracts motorsport enthusiasts throughout the racing season.

    Anglesey's rich history spans from ancient druids and Roman settlements to its medieval princes and industrial heritage. The island was once known as Môn Mam Cymru (Mother of Wales) due to its fertile land that fed much of Wales. Its landscape is dotted with prehistoric monuments, including standing stones and burial chambers, while sites like Copper Kingdom in Amlwch tell the story of its industrial past.

    Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Anglesey's latest developments, from energy projects and port activities to community initiatives and environmental conservation efforts. Whether you're a resident, visitor, or someone interested in this unique Welsh island, our feed keeps you informed about the issues shaping Anglesey's future.
