Discover the Magic of Ynys Llanddwyn on Anglesey
Ynys Llanddwyn, not just an island but a storybook of legends, is the perfect place to explore the rich tales of Saint Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. Celebrated on January 25th, St. Dwynwen’s Day is a heartfelt tradition in Wales, rooted in stories and songs passed down through generations.
Dwynwen’s legend, a tale of love, heartache, and divine wishes, is as captivating as the scenic beauty of Ynys Llanddwyn itself. Whether she chose a life dedicated to God over marriage, or was forbidden to marry her true love, the essence of her story is her selfless wishes and the establishment of her church on this mystical island.
While exploring the island, you’re not just stepping into history but also experiencing a place where love seems to resonate in the air. The well-known Dwynwen’s Well, famed for its love-predicting eels, adds to the island’s allure, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a deeper connection with Anglesey’s heritage.
