Valley, Anglesey

Valley, Anglesey

Valley is a village in Anglesey, North Wales.

Its Welsh name is either "Dyffryn" or "Y Fali". Recent research, prompted by local opposition to the naming as Y Fali, revealed that Valley may be a corruption of the Irish "Bally" (settlement), or "Baile" as it is spelled in Irish. There does not appear to be a known, truly Welsh language placename for the village, hence there has been a reverting to Valley of late. There is no actual valley as the area is very flat.

RAF Valley is a nearby Royal Air Force station concerned with the training of fast jet pilots.

Valley railway station is on the North Wales Coast Line.
