Interesting facts about this location
Church Island
Church Island is a small island in the Menai Strait on the shores of Anglesey to which it is attached by a short causeway that is reachable only on foot off the Belgian Promenade. The whole 2.7 acres of the island is taken up with St Tysilio's church, constructed in the 15th century, and the churchyard. The 20th-century bard Cynan is buried in the churchyard. The Anglesey Coastal Path passes the head of the causeway.

Swellies
The Swellies is a stretch of the Menai Strait in North Wales. The most popular use of the name is for the stretch between the Britannia Bridge and the Menai Bridge. It is notable for its difficulty in safely navigating its shoals and rocks due to the whirlpools and surges that are the result of the tides washing around the island of Anglesey at different speeds. There are several small islands in The Swellies, the largest of which are Church Island and Ynys Gored Goch.
