Anglesey, known also as Ynys Mon, is an island off the north coast of Wales.

Historically, Anglesey has long been associated with the Druids?. In c. 60 AD the Roman general [Caius Suetonius Paulinus]?, determined to break the power of the druids, attacked the island, destroyed the shrine and the sacred groves.

It is the site of [Llys Rhosyr]?, the court of the mediaeval Welsh princes.

The island also has the village with the longest placename in the British Isles, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
