Pentraeth

Pentraeth is a village and community on Anglesey, North Wales, with the postcode LL75. Its population was 557 in the village itself, contributing to a broader community total of 1,178 as per the 2011 census. The Welsh name "Pentraeth" translates to "at the end of a beach," situated near Traeth Coch (Red Wharf Bay). It is drained by the Afon Nodwydd river.

Historically significant, Pentraeth was the site of a battle in 1170 and hosted Charles Dickens during his visit to Moelfre after the Royal Charter wreck. The village once had a railway station from 1908 to 1950 on the Red Wharf Bay branch line.

Amenities include Pentraeth F.C., competing in Welsh football's fourth tier, and the Square, the village center bounded by St. Mary's Church, Panton Arms public house, and Cloth Hall, which has evolved from a store to various businesses. Notable buildings are St Mary's Church (Grade II listed) and Ty Fry (Grade II* listed). Governance previously involved an electoral ward including Llanddona before 2012 boundary changes.

Pentraeth thus embodies historical and cultural aspects alongside its modern amenities, reflecting both heritage and community life.
