Amlwch to Point Lynas.

After our walk round Parys Mountain, we went to Amlwch Port, which when copper mining was at it's peak in the 18th and 19th centuries, was a thriving and major port. For more information - click here . The port itself is now looking sad and the teashop and visitor centre are closed - but checking, just now, it is hoped  that they will reopen in 2025 - I really hope so as the history of the area is fascinating and the back-story to the landscape and settlements needs to be told.

So without our cup of tea - we set off east along the coastal footpath to Point Lynas and its lighthouse. A pleasant enough bit of coast; like any at this time of year a tad slippery underfoot. 


The geological wheel, that is made from the appropriate rocks for the age needs a bit of TLC.

A misty day and a view towards Point Lynas.

The lighthouse and the first spits of rain - fortunately not too much followed! 


It's always good to see and hear Choughs.
