Llanbadrig

There are two Scheduled Monuments within the community. • Dinas Gynfor Hillfort (53.4274°N 4.4236°W) an Iron Age Promontory fortified site on the Llanlleiana headland, with two sets of defensive walls and ditches across the landward side and precipitous cliffs on the three seaward sides. The interior has been quarried in places. Towards the tip of the promontory there is a tower, built to mark the coronation of King Edward VII. There is also the ruined remains of the medieval Church of Llanleiana near the south-western end of the ramparts. • Kilns and chimneys at Porth Wen Brickworks (53.424°N 4.4065°W) A now disused Victorian brickworks which mined the local quartsite minerals and used them to produce silica-based fire bricks for use in steel furnaces. The substantial remains include three 'beehive kilns', a number of buildings and the remains of some of the machinery and tramways. ==Trivia==

Portions of the 2006 movie Half Light starring Demi Moore were filmed in Llanbadrig, although the movie is ostensibly set in Scotland. The headland was the location for a 'Peace Camp: coastal installation celebrating love poetry and landscape'. This was part of the Cultural Olympiad running alongside the 2012 London Olympic Games, and was one of eight such locations around Britain. For four nights in July, glowing dome tents and recitals of love poetry filled the headland. Anglesey also has a Llyn Padrig (lake) and Rhosbadrig (farm) located inland from Aberffraw. Atlas Mon shows a medieval place called Tref Was Padrig (transl. "township of Patrick's servant") in that area. The most northerly point of Wales, Ynys Badrig, is in the community. ==Gallery==
