Holyhead Mountain

A splendid panorama can be enjoyed from Holyhead Mountain (710ft/216m), on the top of which are a fort and the remains of a small chapel (the only survivor of six or seven which originally stood here). These chapels are said to have earned the island its name of "Holy"; but this interpretation is open to doubt, since in earlier times the local people were predominantly Welsh speaking, as many of them still are.
