What is the largest city or town on Anglesey?
Holyhead Holyhead (Welsh: Caergybi, “the fort of St. Cybi”) is the largest town in the county of Anglesey in the northwest of Wales. Although it is the largest town in the county, with a population of 11,237 (2001 census), it is neither the county town nor actually on the island of Anglesey but is instead located on Holy Island which is connected to Anglesey by Four Mile Bridge, so called because it is four miles (6 km) from Holyhead on the old post road from London, and a causeway (known locally as “the cob”) built by local philanthropist Lord Stanley in the nineteenth century, which now carries the A5/A55 road and the railway line to Chester, Crewe and London.
