House of the Dragon tourism is contributing to traffic problems in a village in Wales.

A village on Anglesey used to film the House of the Dragon series has seen “road rage” incidents between tourists trying to get to a popular beach, according to residents. Ynys Llanddwyn and the nearby beach have been made even more famous by TV programmes, including the Game of Thrones spinoff, who have used the area as a filming location. But to get there visitors have to drive through the village of Newborough, often causing large and complicated traffic jams. [ ... ] The only road to the beach starts in the centre of Newborough, but it is narrow in places. Parked cars also mean traffic can only pass in one direction at a time. But with thousands of cars a week heading to the beach in high summer, people in Newborough say the road regularly can’t cope.

Maybe Newborough (Niwbwrch in Welsh) might consider obtaining a couple of electric buses to transport tourists from the outskirts of the community to the areas along the beach seen in House of the Dragon. Fares collected for the rides would pay for the cost of the buses.

Newborough/Niwbwrch is an interesting place in its own right.

Llinos Medi, leader of Anglesey council, added: “Newborough is a village steeped in Welsh history. “The local community faces a number of challenges during the summer months, in particular, with visitor numbers increasing significantly."

Exploring the isles: The disappearing islands

Stories set in the disappearing islands:

Coven of the cursed- Chronicles of the isles

Operation butterfly- Tales from the isles

Description of the disappearing islands:

"Their feet sunk into the soft, reddish soil as they got off the boat and onto the island, from first glance the island seemed to mostly be a forest with tall pine trees stretching to the skies. Although the trees were only thin they grew close together, making a wall of shade block the group’s view into the forest. "- Chronicles of the isles

"The first thing that she noticed was that the island didn’t have a beach. When she jumped down onto the ground she found a reddish soil instead of sand. This soily beach was also very narrow, only a few metres away from them was where the forest started, which took up the majority of the island. Abigail thought it was weird to say but even the trees were different, they were tall and skinny pine trees but they wouldn’t branch out until very high up so it was very easy to look through the forest. The best word that Abigail could use to describe the island was bleak. "- Tales from the isles

Inspiration for the disappearing islands:

Newborough forest served as a very large inspiration for the disappearing isles in chronicles which is coincidentally fitting since it is also directly next to Ynys Llanddwyn which fans of the show merlin will better recognise as the the real life isle of the blessed. I found that the specific trees there (corsican pine if anyone is interested) gave a specific feel as even though they still gave coverage and shadows, the trees are bare towards the bottom, allowing one to look far into the forest.

Newborough Warren Anglesey

One our favourite places on #Anglesey is Newborough Warren for its woodland walks, huge area of sand dunes and long gently sloping beach. The wildlife includes red squirrels, cross bills and an estimated 2000 ravens that come home to roost avert night in the woodland. This walk follows the beach as far as as the little island of Ynys Llanddwyn. Even when the beach is busy it’s so huge it’s…

On the beach at Newborough, Anglesey, Wales.

19th. June ‘21

Sounds of summer - children squealing, shouts in the distance - shouts nearby from the group improvising cricket, shouts from the water - but all so very nice, so very good humoured.

And it makes you wonder why life isn’t more like this - why do we get aggressive over land and borders, when the sea will eventually come in and take away all we have? The place where I sit will be under water; the children’s castles with the sea-shell decorations will be washed away.

And a dog has befriended me; I think his owner is further down the beach. I haven’t anything to give - I am just sipping my tea - but he doesn’t seem to mind. A floppy eared Spaniel with love in his eyes and sand on his nose.

Just to share my recent painting of a famous view on Ynys Môn/ Anglesey, Gogledd Cymru/North Wales.

“The Victorian Cross and Tŵr Mawr lighthouse at Ynys Llanddwyn” was inspired by our first trip onto this island off the South Eastern corner of Anglesey last year. I’d wanted to go for months after seeing photos of the place on social media and I wasn’t disappointed!

The mystical allure of the place is added to by its sometimes being tricky to access, being cut off at high tide, and the stories of Saint Dwynwen, after whose church the island is named.

One version of the story goes that the daughter of King Brychan Brycheiniog in the fifth century, Dwynwen, was caught in an ill-fated romance, when Maelon Dafodrill fell passionately in love with her, against the wishes of her father. Dwynwen prayed for help and was given a number of requests, including that through her God would look after all true lovers. Dwynwen retreated to Ynys Llanddwen, where she lived as a hermit until her death, in about AD 460.

In the Middle Ages, the island became the richest part of Anglesey thanks to becoming a thriving pilgrimage destination. It is unoccupied now, after Reformation suppressions and sandstorms took their toll, just home to Dwynwen’s ruined church, two crosses, two lighthouses and a row of empty pilot cottages.

The cross in this painting was built in the 'sixtieth year of Queen Victoria 1897 ', and Tŵr Mawr lighthouse in 1873.

The island is usually approached from the Newborough Warren car park at LL61 6SG (for which you will need to pay at the exit). Then, it is a fair walk along the beach from there. But the views would make the trip worth it even if distance and tides make the island inaccessible to you, and the island is, to my mind, somewhere worth all my difficulties learning to walk again after the chemotherapy from blood cancer gave me 5 collapsed vertebrae!

The original A4 painting is available unframed for £75 including UK postage (please just message me) or printed to your order on all sorts of things at: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/140440817

Thanks!
