Benllech

Benllech is a small town on the Isle of Anglesey. The popularity of its beach makes Benllech - on the A5025, the main road around the north of Anglesey - one of the most visited places on the island. Benllech is a popular beach holiday destination; the beach shelves and has an abundance of clean yellow sand. The Anglesey Coastal Path passes through.

The name Benllech is perhaps a mutated form of penllech, literally "head slab", i.e. "capstone", or possibly meaning 'on slate', shortened from the Welsh term 'ar ben llech'.
