Llanfairynghornwy

This village, on the approach to Carmel Head, has two claim to fame. It was here, in the 19th century, that Frances Williams founded the Anglesey Association for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. Along with her husband, who was the local rector, Frances raised funds for lifeboats on the island and, through her efforts, the first lifeboat station in the area was established. She as also noted as an artist, and some of her drawings are held by the niversity of Wales at Bangor.

Lying two miles offshore from the point at Carmel Head are The Skerries, a group of windswept ilets whose Welsh name, Ynysoedd y Moelrhoniaid, means Island of Porpoises. O the islets stands the last lighthouse to be privately owned (ships had to pay a toll as they passed). When braziers stood there during the 18th century, they burnt approximately 100 tons of coal a night! Now automated and owned by Trinity House, its beam is rated at four million candles.
