Next day Martin took us down to Amlwch port, still used by pleasure craft but once important for ship-building.
The view as you first arrive...
...and the Watch House at the harbour entrance, now used by Martin and his GeoMôn colleagues as an information centre.
The once busy port was used by ships exporting copper ore mined in the nearby Parys Mountain
An illustration from one of the books on display.
Evidence of fishing activity.
There's an influence from Cornwall too, the harbour walls having vertical stones
In the afternoon Caroline took us to nearby Cefni Reservoir
It's a beautiful open space...
...complete with lone fisherman.
The disused railway track has become a useful footpath.
