Llynnon

A unique impression of Anglesey's rural life.

Llynnon Mill

Anglesey is known as the "Granary of Wales" due to the large quantities of barley and oats once grown here. At one time the island had about 50 working windmills and nearly as many watermills.

Llynnon Mill was built in 1775 and operated until 1918 when it suffered severe damage from a storm. Today, Llynnon Mill operates as an agricultural museum, securing museum registration status in 2001, and produces stoneground wholemeal flour using organic wheat.

Llynnon Mill is the only working windmill in Wales.

Roundhouses

Two roundhouses, 10m in diameter and built from timber with wattle and daub walls and a thatched roof, provide an unique impression of the prehistoric past.

Developments include the furnishing and decoration of one of the roundhouses to reflect a living late prehistoric roundhouse. This reconstructed settlement is typical of what existed on Anglesey and north west Wales, about 3000 years ago.

The new woodland, planted by school children, reflects some of the tree species that existed and were used at that time.

Old bakery

In 2003, after being in a state of ruin for nearly 60 years, the remains of the old Llynnon bakery was excavated. If you take a stroll down to the bakery you'll learn more about the rural traditions of Anglesey during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Mills trail

Linking Llynnon Mill and the nearby Howell Water Mill - this three mile trail will take you about one and a quarter hours to walk.

Llynnon tearoom

There is probably no finer place to enjoy a traditional Welsh tea than at the Llynnon tearoom. Fine home cooking can be enjoyed in beautiful surroundings and a varied menu can also be sampled.
