Description

Iolo Griffiths (Author)
The village of Newborough has a rich history, which includes the ruins of a medieval princely residence and the shrine of the Welsh equivalent of St Valentine. In the 16th century it enjoyed a brief spell as the county town, a status which later attracted whispers of political influence by a foreign power, and by the 18th century it was involved in a political wrangling with its rival, Beaumaris. The growing of marram grass to prevent the engulfing of the village’s lands by drifting sand led to an unusual cottage village also had a rich maritime heritage due to its proximity to the sea, and the convenient coves on Llanddwyn island.
