Anglesey & the North Coast


Everything you'd want from a local, indie bookshop, this little gem stocks English and Welsh books and CDs, with emphasis on local authors, Welsh folk, and the history and landscape of the area. It's also a hub for readings, recitals and other events, and the local crochet club meets every Wednesday evening.
