Holyhead Breakwater Country Park / Parc Gwledig Morglawdd Caergybi
This country park was opened in 1990 in a disused quarry. This provided the stone for the breakwater, construction of which started in 1848, and was subsequently used to manufacture heat-resistant bricks from the silica-rich rock.
This view shows Llyn Llwynog with the brick works chimney and quarry face in the background.
