*************

Trearddur or Trearddur Bay (Welsh: Bae Trearddur) is a village, seaside resort and community south of Holyhead on the west coast of Holy Island off the north-west coast of Anglesey in Wales. The community includes the small settlement of Penrhosfeilw and the Refail Farm estate.

Historically the bay on which the village sits was known as Porth y Capel (Welsh: bay of the chapel) and the nearby dunes as Towyn y Capel (dune of the chapel). The village name is recorded variously as Treffyarddr, Tre Iarthur and Trefarthur with Trearddur first recorded in 1749. All versions signify the settlement of Iarddur, a key figure in the Middle Ages.[1]

History

At the centre of the beach lies an ancient burial ground known by the old names[clarification needed] and which was excavated in 2003.

At the 2001 census, the community had a population of 1,858,[2] reducing to 1,686 at the 2011 census.[3]

As with many places on the Welsh coast Trearddur is quite Anglicized with 44% of the population born in England.[4]

Amenities

There are two general shops in the centre of the village, along with a garage, two golf courses, one 18-hole (Holyhead Golf Club), and one small 9-hole, and two hotels including a large hotel, Trearddur Bay Hotel, which overlooks the beach. There is also a number of self-catering holiday cottages, many with views of the sea and easy access to the beaches.

On the two beaches — Porth Diana and the main beach — there are some shallow scuba diving sites, and the main beach is one of the tourist hotspots of Anglesey. There is excellent sea fishing in the area. Boat trips and fishing trips are available from the beach. Horse riding is available, as is kayaking and sailing. The seas around Holy Island provide some of the best kayaking in the world. Trearddur Bay Sailing Club (founded in 1919) has over 1000 members but, unusually, operates only in the month of August. Visitors can walk along the Anglesey Coastal Path towards neighbouring Rhoscolyn or in the other direction towards Porth Dafarch and on to South Stack and the RSPB Reserve and lighthouse.

Near the beach is a play area and a football pitch where Trearddur Bay United F.C. play.

The village has had a lifeboat station since 1967.[5]

The village hosts the Anglesey Oyster & Welsh Produce Festival.
