Aberffraw

Though this was the capital of Gwynedd between the 7th and 13th centuries, and therefore one of the most important places in Wales, there remains little trace of those times. In fact, no one quite knows where the court buildings were situated. However, a Norman arch, set into the Parish Church of St Beuno is said to be from the chapel of the royal court.The church as we see it
today dates largely from the 16th century. The Llys Llywelyn Museum, although modest, has exhibitions recounting the area’s fascinating history.

On an island just offshore is the Church of St Cywfan. It dates originally from the 13th century, though what we see today mainly dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. At one time, the building was much bigger, but when erosion started to bite at the island, and old graves started to fall into the shoreine, parts of it were demolished. By 1891 it was roofless, but money was eventually raised to refurbish it.

Inland, the Din Dryfol Burial Chamber rovides further evidence of Iron Age life on the island while, to the north of Aberffraw, on the cliff tops above Porth Trecastell, i the Barclodiad y Gawres Burial Chamber. Considered to be one of the finest of its kind, this burial chamber, along with Bryn Celli Ddu, contains some notable murals. This area is also known as Cable Bay, as it is here that a transatlantic cable came ashore.
