Holyhead info
Holyhead (Welsh: Caergybi, "the
fort of St. Cybi") is the largest town in
the county of Anglesey
in the northwest of Wales,
United Kingdom.
Although it is the largest town
in the county, with a population of 11,237 (2001
census), it is neither the county town nor actually
on the island of Anglesey but is instead located
on Holy Island which is connected to Anglesey
by Four Mile Bridge, so called because it is four
miles (6 km) from Holyhead on the old post road
from London, and a causeway (known locally as
"the cob") built by local philanthropist
Lord Stanley in the nineteenth century, which
now carries the A5/A55 road and the railway line
to Chester, Crewe and London.
The town's centre is built around St. Cybi's
church, which is built inside one of Europe's
only three-walled Roman forts (the fourth wall
being the sea, which used to come up to the fort).
The Romans also built a lighthouse on the top
of Holyhead Mountain inside Mynydd y Twr, a prehistoric
fortress. Settlements in the area date from prehistoric
times, with circular huts, burial chambers and
standing stones featuring in the highest concentration
in Britain.
Holyhead is perhaps best known for its busy ferry
port and freight harbour. Stena Line, Europe's
biggest ferry company, operates from the port.
Irish Ferries also operate from Holyhead. Ferries
sail to Dublin and Dún Laoghaire in Ireland
and this forms the principal link for surface
transport from central and northern England and
Wales to Ireland. There is archaeological evidence
that people have been sailing between Holyhead
and Ireland for 4000 years. The post road built
by Thomas Telford from London established Holyhead's
port, from where the royal mail was dispatched
to and from Dublin. The A5 terminates at Admiralty
Arch (1821, designed by Thomas Harrison to commemorate
a visit by King George IV en route to Ireland).
