The "jewel in the crown" of Anglesey's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Cemlyn is one of NWWT's star reserves and regarded by the Anglesey County Council as the "jewel in the crown" of its Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is valued for both its scenic qualities and its unique range of wildlife and is as popular with general visitors as it is with birdwatchers and naturalists. It includes a large lagoon, seperated from the sea by a spectacular, naturally created shingle ridge
