Burial mound at Porth Trecastell...

"Of prime importance at Barclodiad y Gawres is the unexceptional decoration on the massive stones forming the burial chamber. Here can be seen zig zags, chevrons and spirals, similar to the decoration found in the tombs of the Boyne Valley in Ireland, emphasizing the close associations across the Irish Sea. There is only one other example of this Neolithic ( stone age ) art form known in Wales (Bryn Celli Ddu). Such decoration is equally rare in England and Scotland and Barclodiad y Gawres is unquestionably the finest example in Britian. Unfortunately, the decorated stones have become increasingly vulnerable to graffiti and vandalism so it is with regret that Cadw is currently unable to allow unsupervised access into the chamber.

Even though you can't get access to the inner chamber, this burial mound is still well worth a visit. The views from on top are fantastic and the beach and bay are beautiful. If you like a bit of surfing then, with a southerly wind blowing on shore, you can expect some great waves to play in with no hidden dangers lurking on the seabed. A great place to picnic and lots to explore. And if you like to do a little walking you can make your way along the seashore to Rhosneigr and grab a coffee and a bite to eat.( Allow a good hour each way) You can find Porth Trecastell ( better known as Cable Bay ) along the A4080 road between Rhosneigr and Abberfraw.

THE WRECKS AT TRAETH DULAS…

Very little is known about these wooden fishing boats stranded on the sands at Traeth Dulas. At low tide you can walk out across the estuary and get up close to these beautiful old wrecks. Every piece of flaking paint, rusty nail and wooden beam has a story to tell and a secret to keep. How they came to be here and about the men that sailed them no one seems to know, but there’s no denying their beauty and the craftsmanship that went into their making. Well worth a visit, just remember to keep an eye on the incoming tide; it would be a long swim back to the car.

“Dulas Bay (Welsh: Bae Dulas) is a small bay on the north east coast of Anglesey (Ynys Môn), north Wales. The bay is bordered by three beaches. The north-western beach is the sand, shingle, mud estuary Traeth Dulas (Dulas Beach); southeast of this is the tiny Traeth Bach (Small Beach) and the sandy Traeth Yr Ora (Beach of The Fortified Landing Place). The estuary running through Traeth Dulas is that of the Afon Goch (Red River). The Traeth Bach and Traeth Yr Ora at high tide are separated by a rock outcrop called Craig y Sais (The Saxon Rock). At low tide, however, it is possible to walk on the sand between the three beaches and also onto the larger but less tranquil beaches of Lligwy Bay to the south. All the beaches vary in size quite dramatically depending on the tide. Traeth Dulas is most affected by the tide, so much so that the most inland parts of the estuary are salt marshes.” Wikipedia
