Formerly Marcus Wareing’s head pastry chef in London, Richard Hold chose to swap shortcrust for canvas sails when he moved back to his home island of Anglesey to oversee the revival of Melin Llynon, the only working windmill in the whole of Wales. But far more worthy of your time is the lesser-known village of Morfa Bychan and Black Rock Sands, Wales’ only ‘drive on’ beach. You literally can park on the sands (though it’s advisable to check when the tide comes in), such is the immense size of what, despite the name, is actually a beach of creamy, yellow-coloured sands with rock pools and headland caves you can clamber into at low tide.
