Glad you`re pleased, I found it very interesting to research.
I love Anglesey and visit quite often but usually stay closer to the Rhosneigr area.
I will send you a PM.

I`ve copied this from the other post for my convenience, it`s getting a bit confusing having  the two on the same subject, and I`m easily confused  ::)

Hi Billy,
Sorry we are not Point Lynas lighthouse. Ours predates that & is situated 1 ml south on the hill above. PL lighthouse took over telegraphy 1860 ish with an under sea cable rather than visual.
Thanks for looking, Andy

You can see now why I did that  !!!
I`m guessing you are where ` X marks the spot` so what`s the square thing at the end of the lane to the right, in the sea. !!
I love this site, can you see all the old tracks across the headland.

Ahhhhh,
not quite us but close.
Will PM you a link.

The place at the end of the headland is the Lightnouse. Just taken of the sale market - where is was up for £2.5M+
It was said that it would be ideal for William & Kate  ;D
