Liverpool pilots
Fond memories of going to Amlwch Port to play as children and walking along Llancarw to Llaneilian with two or three younger children tagging along with us, and waving to the pilots as they moored outside Almwch Port.

home sweet home
I first found the hamlet of Llanelian some 15 years ago after visiting Anglesey on a regular basis for the last 25 years. I found the peace and quiet of the area very pleasant. The walks are refreshing and the views from Porth Eilian are wonderful. The church is one of the wonders of the area.
I work in Wilmslow in Cheshire and now commute to Llanelian MY HOME SWEET HOME!

I spent many holidays in Benllech, although Golden Sands holiday camp needs bringing in to the 21st century as it is still the same as it was in the 70s.

Extracts From Amlwch & Gwynedd books
The creeper-clad Dinorben Arms Hotel (left) and the Eleth Hotel provided good quality accommodation in the 1930s. The Dinorban was first listed as a hotel in 1828 when it was called the Ty Mawr; it was used as a court house before that. In 1784 it was recorded that a young man, William Roberts, was stripped to the waist, placed on horseback and flogged all the way to the port and back for stealing. The town and port had prospered owing to the mining activity on nearby Parys Mountain, which was the world’s largest copper mine during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Eleth Hotel was demolished in 1962.
