Although firmly part of North Wales the Island of Anglesey has a distinctive mystical character of its own which stretches back to a time when Anglesey was a Druid homeland until around the end of the BC period. It was in 60AD when the Roman legions faced the terrifying sight of the painted warring Druids across the Menai Strait or ‘Afon Menai’. It had been this narrow stretch of sea that had allowed the Druids to fend off the encroaching Roman invaders until this final standoff. After the Romans left Anglesey the ensuing power vacuum was filled by the return the British kings and the area of Aberffrew became capital of the kingdom of Gwynedd. It was around this time that two holy men arrived on Anglesey, St Cybi who set up his monastery on Anglesey’s Holy Isle, in Holyhead and St Seiriol who established Holy Penmon at the opposite side of the Island. The wide range of ancient, mystical and historical sites to be discovered on Anglesey reflect this diverse history and during our tour we will traverse the island visiting a whole range of fascinating and well-preserved sites.
