About

Amlwch grew around its copper mining history, with the industrial remnants of Parys Mountain defining its landscape. The port area reflects this past, while the town itself functions as a local service centre for the northern coast. Inland, the terrain shifts to the agricultural land surrounding Llannerch-y-medd, a quieter settlement focused on farming.

The area's character is shaped by its open, elevated position overlooking the wide expanse of Traeth Lligwy bay. A specific legacy is the 'Amlwch colour', a distinctive shade of mineral-stained water in the old mine workings. This is a working part of the island, with a focus on local industry and agriculture rather than tourism.
