Pentraeth

The small village of Pentraeth in Anglesey, Wales offers few amenities but is in close proximity to more developed towns and villages that offer an excellent choice of shops, ample amenities, eateries and pubs. The village lies near Traeth Coch bay with the river Afon Nodwydd running through it and was the scene of a battle in 1170 where Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd landed in an attempt to claim a share of the kingdom of Gwynedd following the death of his father Owain Gwynedd. He suffered defeat and was killed here by the forces of his half-brothers Dafydd ab Owain Gwynedd and Rhodri.

Pentraeth, like all the villages and towns of Anglesey benefits from the abundance of heritage sites, museums, galleries, visitor and cultural attractions, including the fascinating Anglesey Sea Zoo, the Butterfly Palace and Historic Beaumaris with its castle. For those looking to enjoy outdoor activities, fishing, boating, walking, golfing, surfing and riding can all be enjoyed on Anglesey and Pentraeth is a wonderful base from which to explore this popular destination.
