Llanddwyn is a tidal island, on the southern shore of Anglesey. The peninsula is only cut off at the highest of tides. Most of the time it is accessible by the mainland._x000D_

One of the towers, Twr Mawr was adapted from one of the towers, and a light was established on 1st February 1846. Its shape indicates that it may originally have served as a windmill, later modified to be used as a lighthouse._x000D_

Originally lit using six Argand lamps with reflectors, Twr Mawr was lit using a Fresnel lens from 1861 until 1975. Unusually, the light was displayed from the bottom of the tower, with the building providing accommodation for the keepers. _x000D_

Wild ponies are free to roam on the island and nearby forrest.
