Anglesey photography workshops are a chance to spend a day improving your photography skills in one of the most beautiful coastal locations in the UK.

The workshop is suitable for all photography skill levels.
Llanddwyn Island (Ynys Llanddwyn), located off the coast of Newborough Beach in Anglesey, North Wales, is a stunning tidal island renowned for its romantic, historic, and natural beauty. As part of the Newborough Warren National Nature Reserve, it offers panoramic views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Llŷn Peninsula, featuring iconic landmarks like the Tŵr Mawr lighthouse and St Dwynwen’s Church ruins.
Key Features and Highlights:
Tidal Access: The island remains attached to the mainland at low tide but becomes cut off during high tide, making it crucial to check tide times.
St. Dwynwen's Legacy: Known as the home of the Welsh patron saint of lovers, Dwynwen, it is a significant site for romance and reflection.
Landmarks: Features the white Tŵr Mawr lighthouse (modeled on19th-century windmills), a second smaller beacon, a row of former pilot cottages, and the ruins of a 16th-century church.
Geology and Nature: Formed from ancient volcanic pillow lava and surrounded by sandy coves and rocky outcrops.
Access: Reached via a scenic walk from the Newborough Beach car park through Newborough Forest.
