Holyhead is the largest town in the county of Anglesey, but is in fact located on the Holy Island, an island off the western coast of the Isle of Anglesey.
The proliferation of circular huts, standing stones and burial chambers in and around the town of Holyhead suggests that various settlements have existed on Holy Island since prehistoric times but the town as we know it today is built around the fort of St Cybi. This Roman fort is believed to have been built in the 4th century and its most interesting aspect is that it only has three walls with the the sea being used as a fourth 'wall'.
The town is overlooked to the north west by Holyhead Mountain (Mynydd Twr) which , at 220m (722ft) is the highest point in the county.
