By Shore & Coast 🌊
Anglesey isn’t just a place. It’s a story.
Woven into every coastal path, standing stone, and salt-sprayed cliff is a history that stretches back thousands of years.
Here at Shore & Coast, we design our towels to reflect the soul of the coastline — and few places have as much soul as this island off the north-west tip of Wales.
So pour a cuppa, and come with us on a stroll through time✨
⛪ From Druids to Castles: A Wild Welsh Past
Long before it was known as a beach-lover’s paradise, Anglesey (Ynys Môn) was the sacred heart of Celtic Britain. It was the spiritual centre for the ancient Druids — philosophers, healers, and astronomers who worshipped the earth, sky, and sea.
But in AD 60, the Roman army stormed across the Menai Strait and attempted to destroy the Druid stronghold. What followed was a clash of belief and empire, leaving behind legends that still echo on the breeze.
Fast forward to the medieval period, and Anglesey was caught in the tides of Welsh and English power struggles. Castles rose from the earth — Beaumaris, an architectural marvel built by Edward I, still stands proud today, its stone walls holding centuries of stories.
🌾 The Breadbasket of Wales
Nicknamed the “breadbasket of Wales,” Anglesey has long been a rich agricultural region. Its lush fields and gentle climate made it vital for feeding Wales in times of peace — and war.
But beyond the farms and fields, it’s always been the sea that shaped life here. Fishing, sailing, ferrying, and now wild swimming, paddleboarding, and coastal hikes — Anglesey’s relationship with the ocean is timeless.
