Below are 10 interesting facts you may not have known about the island, found off the North-West coast of Wales.
- Anglesey is the largest island in Wales, with a total area of 276 square miles.
- The Menai Straight was carved by the Snowdonia glaciers during the last ice age – rocks that made Anglesey are unrelated to rocks of North Wales.
- Anglesey’s name is of Old Norse origin, deriving from either Onglisey (meaning Ongli’s island) or Ongullsey (meaning Hook Island). In Welsh, Anglesey is known as Ynys Mon.
- In the 10th century, the island was occupied by Viking raiders, before being taken over by the Normans during their invasion of Gwynedd.
- The island is also home to the village with the longest place name in Britain – Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch – which is abbreviated to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG by the locals. The whole name means “The church of St. Mary in a hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and near St. Tysilio’s church by the red cave”.
- Anglesey is connected to mainland Wales by two bridges – the Britannia Bridge and the Menai Bridge, which was designed in 1826 by Thomas Telford.
- The vast majority of Anglesey’s residents speak Welsh – around 7 in 10.
- Famous faces that come from Anglesey include actress Naomi Watts, comedian Dawn French and founder of the rock band Motorhead, Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilminster.
- The island has its very own coastal path, which goes all the way around the entire island. Measuring 200km long, the route takes around 12 days to complete.
