Saint Tudwal's Islands

Saint Tudwal's Islands are a small archipelago lying south of Abersoch on the Llŷn peninsula in North Wales, at the western end of Tremadog Bay.

There are two main islands: Saint Tudwal's Island West(Saint Tudwal's Island West)) and Saint Tudwal's Island East (Saint Tudwal's Island East)), plus the Carreg y Trai rocks.

The islands are known for their seal population. The western island has a lighthouse, and the eastern has the remains of a priory.
[edit] Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is a small, now unmanned, light which marks the north end of Cardigan Bay. The stone tower is 10.7m high and was built in 1877. The lighthouse keepers' cottages are now privately owned and used as a holiday home. The light has a range of 14 nautical miles and is 46 metres above high water. The tower is painted white.
