  • Anglesey has possibly the most suitable climate in Wales for the growing of crops such as wheat and barley, conditions which have earned it the name 'Mam Cymru' (Mother of Wales). In the early nineteenth century, Anglesey had about 50 working windmills and nearly as many watermills. The derelict bodies of many of these windmills can still be seen today dotted across the countryside. Llynnon Mill is the only one to be restored to its original working condition and now produces flour again. The mill was built in 1775 at a cost of just over 550 and worked until 1918, when it suffered severe damage in a fierce storm. It lay in ruins for over fifty years until it was carefully restored and reopened as a working windmill and museum site in 1984.

  • These two replica roundhouses, which are 10 metres in diameter, are made from timber with wattle and daub walls and a thatched roof of water reed. This style would have been typical in north Wales during the late Bronze Age / early Iron Age (about 3,000 years ago), although some upland roundhouses would have had walls built from stone. This photograph was taken from Llynnon Mill.

  • This building, which was built in the early nineteenth century, was originally a small cottage called 'Tŷ'r Cariwr' (Carrier's House). It was converted into a bakery at the beginning of the 20th century and it is possible that flour from Llynnon Mill was used to produce bread sometime before it closed in 1923. After that, the bakery received its flour from other sources, including the water mill at Llantrisant, and supplied bread both locally and to other parts of Anglesey. The bakery closed in 1939 and fell into ruin. It was excavated by the Gwynedd Archeological Trust in 2001 and was reopened by Jenny Randerson AM on 6 March 2003.
