Island 226 - Braich Parlwr, Rhosneigr, Anglesey, Wales

Braich Parlwr is an unremarkable small tidal island located 100 metres from the village of Rhosneigr on the west coast of Anglesey.  However I don't think it gets cut off very often from the mainland, possibly just at high spring tides or in storm conditions.  Other people have described it as a peninsula rather than an island but having studied the seaweed deposits that cover the shingle spit that joins it to the mainland I have decided it is an island. Braich Parlwr is about 150 metres by 50 metres and is low lying and covered in grass and thrift.
