Aberffraw

Capital of the kings of Gwynedd for 400 years. There's not much there now.

A wild, flat landscape of wetlands and sky. A few grey houses are clustered on a rise next to the water.
Under a blue sky, silver sands stretch off towards a narrow arm of the sea. Mountains are visible on the other side.
An ancient stone drinking trough in the shape of an altar.
A fishing boat is moored in a narrow river in the midst of a wide flat landscape.

Also the site of Branwen and Matholwch's wedding. She is still remembered.

Grey 1960s terraced houses. The street sign says, Bro Branwen, 16-25.
