The Island of Anglesey has traditionally been a romantic honeymoon destination, as well as home to many a holiday romance. During the 1950s and 1960s it enjoyed enormous cachet amongst visitors from North West England, the Borders, Wales and Ireland.

Just how much of the island’s attraction can be attributed to it’s association with Santes Dwynwen, the patron saint of lovers, is a matter of conjecture, but the fact is that Anglesey occupies a special place in many people’s hearts and minds as exceptionally tranquil and romantic.

Finally, the website’s FREE bilingual (Welsh/English) E-Love cards are available to send to the one you love on Valentine’s Day – or any other day!
