**Llyn Alaw**
LLYN ALAW Created in 1966 with the construction of three dams, this 777 acre reservoir greatly increased Anglesey’s domestic water supply. As well as supplying the people of Anglesey with water, Llyn Alaw supports the highest wildfowl population of any inland water in Wales. Facilities at Llyn Alaw include parking and toilets, a Visitor’s Centre, picnic sites, bird hides (no dogs allowed). Also there are parking and toilet facilities for people with a disability, and a short walk and picnic area. VILLAGE OF LLANNERCHYMEDD Llannerchymedd; ‘glade of the Mead’ has been famed in the past for its markets and cobblers. Markets were recorded here from the 1300s, and until the 1900s this was one of the Island’s principal venues. It is reputed that in 1832 there were 250 bootmakers here, due probably to the copper industry at nearby Parys Mountain. Llannerchymedd was also known for its musicians in the 19 ^th century, and many prizes were won at the National Eisteddfod by harpists from here. VILLAGE OF LLANDDEUSANT The name Llanddeusant means ‘religious enclosure of two Saints’. The two saints dedicated here are St. Marcellus and St. Marcellinus. As the names suggest these are not Celtic saints, but were Bishops of Rome martyred in the 4th century. LLYNNON WINDMILL & MELIN HOWELL Nearly 50 windmills were erected on Anglesey during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, in the 11th century most of Anglesey’s mills were water powered. Since Anglesey is relatively flat millponds were constructed to provide a regular water supply sufficient to drive the waterwheel. Llynnon windmill, and Howell watermill, both lovingly restored in the 1970s are fine examples of the mills that were typically seen all over Anglesey in days gone by.	LLYN ALAW Fe’i crëwyd ym 1966 gyda chodi tri argae, ac fe gynyddwyd cyflenwad dwr domestig Ynys Môn yn sylweddol gan y gronfa ddr 777 erw hon. Ynghyd â chyflenwi pobl Ynys Môn â dr, mae Llyn Alaw yn cynnal y boblogaeth adar hela uchaf o unrhyw ddr mewndirol yng Nghymru. Mae cyfleusterau Llyn Alaw yn cynnwys mannau parcio a thoiledau, Canolfan Ymwelwyr, safleoedd picnic, gwylfa adar (ni chaniateir cn). Mae yno hefyd gyfleusterau parcio a thoiledau i’r anabl, ynghyd â thaith gerdded fer a safle picnic. LLANNERCHYMEDD Roedd ‘llannerch y medd’ yn enwog yn y gorffennol am ei farchnadoedd a’i gryddion. Cofnodwyd marchnadoedd yma o’r 1300au, a, hyd at yr 1900au, hwn oedd un o brif leoliadau yr Ynys. Tybir bod yma 250 o gryddion ym 1832, mae’n debyg oherwydd y diwydiant copr gerllaw ar Fynydd Parys. Yn yr 19eg ganrif roedd Llannerchymedd hefyd yn adnabyddus am ei gerddorion, ac enillwyd llawer o wobrau yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol gan delynorion oddi yma. LLANDDEUSANT Ystyr yr enw Llanddeusant yw ‘caeadle crefyddol dau sant’. Y ddau sant a gysegrwyd yma yw Sant Marcellus a Sant Marcellinus. Fel y mae eu henwau’n awgrymu, nid seintiau Celtaidd mo’r rhain, ond Esgobion Rhufain a ferthyrwyd yn y 4ydd ganrif. MELIN LLYNNON A MELIN HOWELL Codwyd bron i 50 o felinau gwynt ar Ynys Môn yn ystod yr 18fed a’r 19eg ganrif, ond yn ystod yr 11eg ganrif roedd y rhan fwyaf o felinau yr Ynys yn cael eu gyrru gan ddr. Gan bod Ynys Môn yn gymharol wastad, adeiladwyd pyllau melin i gyflenwi dwr yn rheolaidd i yrru’r olwyn ddr. Mae melin wynt Llynnon a melin ddr Howel, a adferwyd yn ofalus yn ystod yr 1970au, yn esiamplau arbennig o’r melinau a welwyd dros Ynys Môn mewn dyddiau gynt.
