Walk Down to The Bay
We used to walk down to Red Wharf Bay on the first night at my aunt's who had a house in the village at the bottom of the steep hill called Journeys End. It was wonderful to go to the paddly bridge as we called it and gaze out at the bay, knowing this was the start of our six week holiday. We went here from about 1950 to 1963.
Teenagers Camping & Boating C.1970
Hi All. Den from St. Helens. Summer in Anglesey, first car, first boat, first meetings with young ladies of Llangefni. It could have been 1969, I'm not sure now, a group of mates from St Helens set out on holiday in a Triumph Courier Van in grey, Reg No 837 EDM.

I remember walking from Llligwy around the headland where you could see this place, and trips in the car to this bay where we pitched our windbreaker and had a picnic on the beach, whilst building sand castles of course - fantastic. Also some really interesting neolithical sites nearby and ruins, plus the tales of the various shipwrecks around that coast. Loads for a small child to take in and a very mystical place, lots of adventures. You can see the remnants of a wreck still in the water off the cliffs near Molfre. I returned to the bay recently and had lunch at the Ship Inn, brill place and great food - but, not changed a bit. Like stepping back in time apart from a new block of town houses on the sea...
