ValleyValley sits on Anglesey, immediately opposite Holy Island. It was thought to have gainedits name while Thomas Telford was cutting his road through the small hill here. Centuries earlier this was the home of Iron Age man whose weapons and horse trppings found in the area are now on display in the National Museum of Wales.However, Valley is perhaps better known today for the nearby airfield established here during World War II as a fighter pilot base. In 1943, the American Air Force expandedthe base’s capability for use as an Atlantic terminal and now the RAF uses it for training flights and for Air/Sea rescue. Opposite the barracks is Llyn Penrhyn, a complex of reed-fringed lakes with lots of wildfowl and dragonflies. Before the bridges to Holyhead were built, during the construction of the A5, the crossing to the town was made via Four Mile Bridge (see Holyhead). |
