Amlwch is the most northerly town in all of Wales. Amlwch is in the north east of the Isle of Anglesey, just off the north Wales coast and on the A5025. The meaning of Amlwch translated into the English launguage is 'Around dust' as it is well known for its mining heritage.

According to legend in the Middle Ages Amlwch developed on a site that had a harbour but was not visible from the sea which helped to reduce the chance of Viking attacks. It grew in the eighteenth century around what was then the world's biggest copper mine at the nearby Parys Mountain.
