Private Property and access is not permitted. Excellent views of the site
can be seen from the Anglesey Coastal Path between Cemaes
and Amlwch.
On
the north coast of Anglesey, a few miles west of Amlwch, are the remains
of a brickworks. It was opened at the turn of the last century to
make refractory bricks for use in the steel industry. The bricks
were exported by sea from the works' own harbour. The whole operation
closed down at the start of the first world war
and most of it has slowly rusted away ever since. If you are able
to help with any more details of the life and times of Porth Wen then please
