View SW across Bardsey Sound from near Mynydd Mawr, Aberdaron, showing the distinctive slug-like profile of Bardsey Island, two miles off the SW tip of the Lleyn Peninsula, North Wales. Mynydd Enlli rises to 167m (548ft) on the east, sheltering a fertile plain to the west. Considered a sacred isle, known in Welsh as Ynys Enlli, often referred to as "the island of the twenty thousand saints", it has been a burial place, and home to Celtic saints and hermits, since early Christian times. A Celtic monastery was traditionally founded on the island in the sixth century AD. By 1200, St Mary's Abbey had been taken over by Augustinian canons under a Prior, and for several centuries Bardsey became one of the three great pilgrimage places of Wales along with St David's and Holywell. Smoke on L is from a bonfire on the island.
