This hamlet on the Isle of Anglesey lies north of Pentraeth and west of Red Wharf Bay. Archaeological excavation suggests civilizations existed here since the Neolithic Period. For hundreds of years, Celtic tribes were the sole inhabitants of the island until the Roman invasion. Roman occupation continued for 300 hundred years.
The Vikings attempted invasion several times, but many believed they never successfully acquired territory. Recent unearthed discoveries indicate Viking occupation in Llanbedrgoch for at least a short period of time beginning sometime in the 8th century. Artefacts suggest the invaders had an advanced industrious settlement. The people survived by farming, raising livestock and performing associated craft trades.
Some believe the Vikings also demonstrated commerce and trade via the waterways. Researchers believe this settlement lasted until sometime during the 10th century. Agriculture remained the mainstay of the local economy for future civilizations, along with quarrying limestone and marble.
Llandbedrgoch briefly had railway service from 1909 until 1930, at which time the station closed. The rails were removed during the 1950s and the former station became the location of a caravan site.
Activities and Attractions
The Cors Goch Nature Reserve contains a variety of landscapes for exploration. The area contains open water, wetlands, steep hilltops and woodland. Enjoy native wildlife and beautiful species of wildflowers that include orchids, purple heather and rockroses. Primitive paths journey through the reserve and range in difficulty from flat to moderately steep.
Close to the reserve is the Ty Gwyn Open Gardens. The acreage has a variety of botanical interests including wildflower meadows, lush green lawns, sculpted and walled gardens. The location has limestone pavements through the area, which also lead to a fishpond and decorative gazebo.
Archaeological and history buffs enjoy a visit to nearby Lligwy. The village has an ancient burial chamber dating back thousands of years. Two to three dozen people were buried beneath the massive stone structure at one time. The Din Lligwy Hut Circle site developed sometime during the era of the Roman occupation and may have belonged to a Celtic tribe. An acre-sized location holds the remnants of what appears to be a walled settlement containing multiple structures. Artefacts suggest buildings included a chieftain’s lodge, smelting workshop and typical domestic dwellings.
Also nearby lies the remains of Hen Capel Lligwy, an abandoned 12th century stone church.
