The Plain Cross and Lighthouse of Llanddwyn Island, Anglesey
St. Dwynwen's Cross.
On what is probably the highest point of Llanddwyn Island stands the huge St Dwynwen's cross, hewn from stone. Dwnwen is the Welsh patron saint of lovers, her day - 25th January - is still marked by some in Wales by the sending of cards and flowers. The cross is inscribed 'On the sixtieth year of Queen Victoria', which is a clue to when it was erected, 1879.
The Lighthouse.
Twr Mawr (big tower) was, from 1845 until 1976, the lighthouse which marked the rocky peninsula near the south west corner of Anglesey known as Llanddwyn Island. Built in a conical style, perhaps inspired by the design of Anglesey's windmills, this 35ft tower with an effective height above sea level of 82ft was visible from 7 miles away.. The lighthouse was replaced by ‘Twr Bach’ beacon; which stands just across the bay, and has a directional flashing light, in 1976
