Storm gathering over Twr Mawr.

This is Twr Mawr Lighthouse, which is situated on Llanddwyn Island, a magical place which lies off the the coast of the Island of Angelsey in North Wales. Llanddwyn is only an island twice a day when the high tide separates it from it's larger neighbour

Twr Mawr was built in 1845 to guide ships to Bangor through the Menai Straits, which separates Anglesey from the mainland. The lighthouse has now been decommissioned and an older lighthouse nearby has been fitted with a modern lighting system.
