Treardurr Bay, Anglesey (day 4)

New year eve. How quickly did December pass by? How quickly did 2025 go by? Another cold day, and we're still coughing. Wrapping ourselves up we decided to visit Parys Mountain Copper Mine. In the eighteenth century it was the largest copper mine in the world. Around the weird landscape there are many walks through a martian type landscape of colours of pinks, reds, browns and orange.






One of the large rocks, known as a black smoker, a hydrothermal vent found on ocean floors, now sat in the old quarry. It originated in New Zealand. Amazing to think that movement of tectonic plates many years ago rearranged the world like this. Lunch in Margery and then home. John is worse. So a quiet new year's eve for us. Snacky food and T.V. to see 2026 in.
