Old copper mine on Carmel Head, Anglesey, North Wales.

Old copper mine on Carmel Head, Anglesey, North Wales.
View eastwards from near Carmel Head, Anglesey.

These old mine remains are part of a set of old workings along a mineralised fault line just south of Trwyn y Gader (Carmel Head), on the north-west tip of Anglesey. I lived on a farm near here for 2 months in the summer of 1972 whilst carrying out my undergraduate student mapping project.

The Wylfa Magnox nuclear power station at Cemaes Bay is visible in the distance.
