The first time I drive through Amlwch I felt like a wanted to stay here. I’ve since found out my husband’s paternal family lived in Amlwch. I don’t know what the pull of it is but I like it. It’s a coastal town well known for its copper mines. The most iconic place to visit is Parys Mountain. Famed for its unusual landscape, it’s what is left of the large copper mines.
The landscape has been used in movies and TV shows as it looks almost alien. It’s a great walk back in history to see how prosperous Amlwch once was.
Amlwch port is also pretty special because the copper its added a special tint to the waters of the port.
I highly recommend the Quays cafe in Machine Street, we sat outside with the two dogs and we had the most filling bacon, brie and cranberry toastie ever! Very friendly staff, can’t wait to go again very soon.
