Bull Bay, Anglesey

Bull Bay, Anglesey

Bull Bay is a village in north Anglesey, Wales. Its name is Porth Llechog which means "Bay of excellent shelter". The English name is itself derived from Pwll y Tarw, "The bull's pool" which is located in the central part of the bays coast.

The village is located on the A5025 and it is the most northerly village in Wales and also contains Wales' most northerly golf course which was opened and funded by a local aristocrat in 1913. The island of East Mouse lies within the bay, the coastline of which is rocky and contains many caves. Some of these rocks are over 570 million years old which make them amongst the oldest in Wales.
