The ward of Ynys Gybi sits on Holy Island off the west coast of the Isle of Anglesey and encompasses the busy ferry town of Holyhead. Its landscape is strikingly coastal, with rugged cliffs and sandy bays, the summit of Holyhead Mountain and the dramatic South Stack lighthouse and seabird colony popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Locally there is a strong maritime identity and a high proportion of Welsh speakers, with historic touches from the Roman fort at Caer Gybi to Victorian harbour works; the economy leans on the port, fishing, tourism and local services, while conservation, coastal paths and birdwatching help keep a steady flow of visitors.
