About

Din Llugwy Romano-British Village, Din Lligwy, conjures up a romantic image of a Celtic settlement hidden in a wooded grove on a limestone plateau above Lligwy Bay. Covering more than a quarter of a football pitch, the walled enclosure holds the remains of two round huts and several rectangular buildings, their walls of great limestone slabs still standing up to two metres high. Coins, pottery and glass date the settlement to the 3rd and 4th centuries, though it may have been used since the Iron Age; its inhabitants were local Britons who adopted much of the Roman lifestyle. Smelting hearths show the rectangular buildings were workshops, and the wall was built to contain livestock rather than for defence. Reviewers find a hidden gem with a special atmosphere where you can sit inside a roundhouse, a signposted ten-minute walk across fields, muddy in places, from the lay-by shared with Capel Llugwy. The Wales Coast Path's Moelfre to Llugwy walk links the three Llugwy sites.
