Carmel Head

Carmel Head (Welsh: Trwyn y Gadair)[1] is a prominent coastal headland on the northwest tip of the island of Anglesey.

[3] Most of the land on the head, which peaks at 81 metres above sea level, is owned and managed by the National Trust.

They were constructed in the 1860s as navigation aids: lining up the three columns marks the position of a shallow reef offshore that was a grave danger to shipping.

The mine equipment was sold in 1883, and included a 30-HP beam engine with flywheel and pumping and winding gear, as well as the boiler to power it.

[8] There are ruins of the copper mine and offices still in existence, including a well-preserved chimney stack.
