Island 228 - Ynys Groes, Rhosneigr, Anglesey, Wales

Ynys Groes (Cross Island) is an unremarkable small tidal island about 300 metres from the village of Rhosneigr.  It is actually 2 separate islands grouped together but separated at high tide.  They are accessible at low tide across the sand.  The last 50 metres or so is across some rocks, muddy sand and slippery seaweed.  The islands, which rise to a height of about 4 metres are covered in grass and thrift, which was still in flower when I visited in early June 2014.  There were also a few dandelions.

 - definitely enough grass to graze a sheep but there was no sign of any sheep having taken advantage of it in recent years!
