Lovely old dating back to 440AD well worth the visit with lovely views all round ⛪ Visited during a week long exploration of Anglesey. Sadly I didn't have the time to visit the site at either blue or golden hour times but this would be a great location for an early morning or sunset shoot as the location is simply stunning. Eglwys Llanbadrig (St Patrick’s Church) near Cemaes Bay is one of Anglesey’s most remarkable historic sites — and easily one of the most scenic. Perched high above the Irish Sea, it’s said to mark the spot where St Patrick himself was shipwrecked in the 5th century and gave thanks by founding a small place of worship. Whether that legend is fact or folklore, the setting alone feels ancient and sacred. The present stone dates mainly from the 12th to 16th centuries and is Grade II* listed. Its 1884 restoration was funded by Henry Stanley, the 3rd Baron Stanley of Alderley — a convert to Islam — who added beautiful blue tiles and geometric stained glass inspired by Islamic design. The result is a fascinating mix of Celtic Christian heritage and Moorish-style decoration you won’t find anywhere else in Wales. Inside you’ll also see the medieval font, an early carved altar panel, and the 9th–11th-century Ichthus Stone with its carved fish symbol of early Christianity. The views from the churchyard are unforgettable: on a clear day you can see across to the Isle of Man, the Cumbrian hills, and even the Mountains of Mourne. Below lies Porth Padrig Bay and the little sea stack known as Ladi Wen (“white lady”), with Middle Mouse Island (Ynys Badrig) just offshore — the supposed site of St Patrick’s shipwreck. Access is via a narrow lane north of Cemaes Bay with limited parking, or by foot along the Anglesey Coastal Path. The is usually open in summer but check locally before visiting. Be prepared for strong winds and bring your camera — this is easily one of the most atmospheric and photogenic churches in Wales, where centuries of legend, faith and sea light all meet on the same headland. Beautiful little hidden away church. Very interesting history. Worth a visit. Beautiful place, very tranquil. The drive there is via a single-track country lane with very little option to pull over for others to pass. There is a car park available for approx 10 cars, visited mid week in May. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Also had a walk on the headland to take in the breathtaking views... WOW 👌 Very old in an idyllic beauty spot overlooking Cemaes Bay and The Irish Sea. Stunning coastal walk area 👍 Beautiful little in a stunning location. Lots of people passing by on the footpath. Had a nice feeling inside.
