Ynys Llanddwyn is a small tidal island off the SW coast of Anglesey near the village of Newborough.  The island is of geological interest as it has pillow lava, jasper and aeolian sand deposits.  The island is rich in legend associated with Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, making her the equivalent of St. Valentine. Her saints day is 25 January.  The island has the ruined remains of St. Dwynwen's Church
