Anglesey: Then and Now
An essential guide to the island’s layered past and living legacy
Gwasg Carreg Gwalch is proud to announce the release of Anglesey: Then and Now, a compelling new title that brings to life the fascinating history of the island of Môn —off the north-west coast of Wales.
From prehistoric settlers and ancient farming communities to Celts, Druids, Romans, Vikings, and Norman kings, Anglesey has long stood at the crossroads of culture and conquest. Each era has left its mark on the island, shaping a unique identity that continues to resonate through its landscapes and communities.
This beautifully illustrated book provides a vivid and accessible overview of the island’s past, placing well-known historic sites such as Beaumaris Castle and Druidic sacred spaces into context with the people who lived, fought, and flourished here.
As modern visitors walk the island’s coastal paths or explore its bustling market towns, Anglesey: Then and Now offers the perfect companion—connecting the visible present with the deep, often surprising layers of history that lie beneath.
Whether you're a curious traveller, a lifelong resident, or a history enthusiast, this book is a must-have for understanding why Anglesey remains one of the most captivating corners of Wales.
