0:06:00 > 0:06:03- People say that Anglesey is flat - but it's not.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Let's take a quick break here - just to catch our breath.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13- You can see Snowdonia - at its best from Anglesey.

0:06:13 > 0:06:18- I walk or run along here - when I'm going to work.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- I'm one of the youngest - committee members.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- The other members - aren't getting any younger...

0:06:44 > 0:06:46- ..so I have to continue their work.

0:06:46 > 0:06:51- I'm safeguarding the tradition - but it's getting harder each year.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Finding more helpers - is very difficult.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58- I watch the races - and I'd love to compete...

0:06:58 > 0:07:01- ..but then I look at Snowdon - and change my mind.

0:07:01 > 0:07:06- I can sort it out for you. - I'll send you an application form.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- This is a great training route - to and from my house...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- ..if you want to do 20-30 minutes.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- It passes the memorial built - for those who died...

0:07:35 > 0:07:37- ..while building - the Britannia Bridge.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Now then, who's this figure - casting his eye over the Menai?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- This is Nelson.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53- He's looking out...

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- ..over the most deceptive stretch - of water in the world.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Those were Nelson's words.

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Admiral Lord Clarence Paget - made this statue...

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- ..after retiring - from his service on the seas.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11- It was his tribute to Nelson.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- It was also a landmark for sailors - sailing along the Menai...

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- ..as they approached the bridge.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Plas Newydd stands - on the banks of the Menai.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- The National Trust maintains - the house and the gardens.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49- Ceinwen Price entertains - the visitors as they arrive.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53- I came here for a walk - in the middle of May.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- I walked into this room - and saw the piano...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- ..but no-one playing it.

0:09:59 > 0:10:04- I made enquiries to see - if someone played the piano here.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05- No-one did.

0:10:06 > 0:10:12- I left my name and phone number - and I've played here ever since.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- What sort of melodies - do you play here?

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Welsh melodies mostly.

0:10:21 > 0:10:27- I play Welsh melodies - because we're in a Welsh house.

0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I feel comfortable - playing Welsh melodies.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35- Most people who visit - can't tell the difference...

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- ..but I feel happier - playing Welsh melodies.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Trystan, - you're the mansion's manager.

0:10:42 > 0:10:47- The excellent condition - of the building has impressed me.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49- It's in excellent condition.

0:10:49 > 0:10:54- The family has invested - significantly over the years.

0:10:54 > 0:10:58- We've come in - to do the necessary work...

0:10:59 > 0:11:01- ..but a lot of it - feels quite fresh...

0:11:02 > 0:11:08- ..because the family only moved to - live here permanently in the 1930s.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- This has certainly - attracted my attention.

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- This wonderful mural behind me.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19- In the 1930s, when the family - moved here from Staffordshire...

0:11:19 > 0:11:24- ..they decided they needed - a majestic dining room.

0:11:24 > 0:11:30- Artist Rex Whistler - was a family friend.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- He was commissioned - to paint this mural.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38- It's been painted - in the trompe l'oeil style...

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- ..meaning trick of the eye.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It tricks you into thinking - it's a 3-D painting.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Some of it moves - when you move along it.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- It's on a 58-foot canvas - - it's huge.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Most of the work was completed - in a theatre in England.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02- He brought it here in the late 1930s - and glued it to the wall.

0:12:03 > 0:12:09- The ceiling and the alcoves of the - room are part of the trompe l'oeil.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- One interesting aspect - of the mural...

0:12:13 > 0:12:17- ..is when guests - sat down for dinner...

0:12:17 > 0:12:20- ..some would see - a great view of Snowdonia...

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- ..but people on this side - only saw a wall.

0:12:23 > 0:12:29- This mural was commissioned - to match the view of Snowdonia.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35- The mural's so good, the people on - that side want to see the mural...

0:12:35 > 0:12:39- ..so mirrors have been installed - on this side of the room.

0:12:40 > 0:12:44- They can now see through the window - and the mural behind them.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- It's a feature of the room.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48- It's a feature of the room.- - They've thought of everything.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54- .

0:16:54 > 0:16:57- It was known as the Anglesey Leg.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- He has two legs here.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Yes, two very noble legs.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- He's looking out towards Arfon.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09- There's talk about turning him - around to face Llanfair.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12- His backside's facing Llanfairpwll!

0:17:12 > 0:17:14- He's turned his back on us.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- Alun, if we don't get a move on, - we'll be blown away.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Who's going down first?

0:17:21 > 0:17:22- After you.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23- After you.- - Thank you.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34- While Shan was climbing the stairs...

0:17:35 > 0:17:39- ..members of the Anglesey Adventure - Club were also scaling the heights.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- It's busy here, Huw.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- It's great to have all - these children here from school.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50- When I was in school, - all we had was football and rugby.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- These children are so lucky - to be offered this activity.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56- You're a local lad.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- You're a local lad.- - Yes, I was brought up here.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I was hoping - to join the Army initially.

0:18:02 > 0:18:04- This is a climbing wall - for the Army.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08- I wrote a letter asking if I - could come down and they said yes.

0:18:09 > 0:18:14- Fantastic. Does this prepare you - for climbing mountains?

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Is it good training?

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Yes, in general terms.

0:18:18 > 0:18:24- Conditions are variable - on a mountain - it's more slippery.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28- It's more difficult - to judge the surface outside.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- It's hard to know - where to grab hold.

0:18:31 > 0:18:37- Here, it's all colour coded - pink, - yellow, red, you know where to go.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- How much climbing do you do? - Do you climb this wall regularly?

0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Yes, almost every day.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- If I'm not - climbing the wall myself...

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- ..I help set the wall up - for others to climb it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- All the ropes and hooks?

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- We change them - every six weeks or so..

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- ..just to give people - variety when they climb.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06- We like to keep the ascents - as interesting as we can.

0:19:06 > 0:19:07- Well done.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11- I want to have a go. - Where do you suggest I should go?

0:19:11 > 0:19:15- I don't want to climb with a rope. - I'd like to try bouldering.

0:19:15 > 0:19:20- The best place to start - is in this corner on the blue mats.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24- Yes, - there's plenty of activity there.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32- This is difficult. - Watch yourselves in case I fall.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Almost there, lads. Almost there!

0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Dear me. I'll be lucky - to get out of here in one piece.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Leave me here.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Switch off the lights - when you're done. Thanks, lads.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- I was under the impression...

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- ..that bowls appealed - to the more mature among us.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08- In Llanfairpwll, some disagree.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12- What attracted you to the game?

0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Taid taught me to play - when I was a little boy.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17- How's he doing, Alun?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19- How's he doing, Alun?- - He's doing well, fair play.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- He's been playing - since he was a young boy.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Is bowls a cool game to play?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Not really.

0:20:30 > 0:20:35- Guto, here's Taid. - Do you beat him regularly?

0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Yes! He's used to losing.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Is he a good teacher?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- I teach him!

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- You walk and bend over - more than you'd think...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- ..as you go back and forth.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50- It's good for your body.

0:20:50 > 0:20:52- It's good for your body.- - It's a great way to keep fit.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Maldwyn, is he a good pupil?

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- Excellent. - He can play well when he wants to.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- How much can you improve?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- A lot if I practise.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- Maldwyn, - will he play for Wales one day?

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Have you played for Wales?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Have you played for Wales?- - Yes.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Three of them have played for Wales.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18- There's a rich heritage here.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- It must be nice - to see the club so busy.

0:21:23 > 0:21:29- Oh, yes. It's so nice to see - the younger generation taking over.

0:21:29 > 0:21:33- There's plenty of room for them - as people like me...

0:21:33 > 0:21:36- ..play here less often.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- It's their time to take over.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- What makes the game so exciting?

0:21:42 > 0:21:44- It's a unique game.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- You don't get many sports like this.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51- You can meet so many people - when you play bowls...

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- ..in so many places across Wales.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Your friends must be surprised - when you tell them you play bowls.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- What's so appealing about the game?

0:22:01 > 0:22:06- A lot of people think we look silly - when we play an old man's game.

0:22:06 > 0:22:07- That's not how I see it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11- They don't know - because they haven't tried.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- We urge them to come - but they have no interest.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18- They change their tune - when they hear about your success.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28- # The road is dark

0:22:28 > 0:22:31- # In candlelight #

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Elin Fflur's wonderful voice.

0:22:34 > 0:22:40- She's a singer who sees Llanfairpwll - as a haven in her busy life.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44- This is home for you.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- You spend a lot of time in Cardiff. - What's so nice about Llanfairpwll?

0:22:49 > 0:22:54- One thing I like about - returning home from the big city...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57- ..is walking down the road - and someone greeting you.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- The people here show so much warmth.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04- There's always a joke and a smile.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10- I love returning home - and spending time with these people.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13- They're an inspiration for my songs.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I worked in this pub for many years - when I was younger.

0:23:18 > 0:23:22- I met so many people and heard - their stories about the village.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- I learnt so much about their lives.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29- They're such warm - and friendly people.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33- You mentioned your music then.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38- Is there one song in particular - that's been inspired by this area?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42- On my last album, I have a song - called Fy Rhandir Mwyn.

0:23:42 > 0:23:48- It's all about leaving home - for long periods when you're working.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53- You're driving all alone - for hours on end along the A470.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56- It's the idea - of crossing the bridge...

0:23:56 > 0:23:59- ..and reaching Anglesey - and knowing that I'm home.

0:23:59 > 0:24:04- It's that warmth and the safe - knowledge that I'm in the village.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07- That's what Rhandir Mwyn - is all about.

0:24:07 > 0:24:11- A lot of people can empathize - with that feeling of arriving home.

0:24:14 > 0:24:16- # This is my haven

0:24:18 > 0:24:21- # My haven

0:24:21 > 0:24:23- # My haven

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- # The foundation of my life

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- # The foundation of my life #
