Top HistoryStick Cottage is steeped in history, with some parts dating back to the 18th century. The Cottage is part of a property that was previously in the Williams family for 200 years until the 1970's. During this period, it was part of a thriving smallholding, which provided the only shop and bakery for the village of Dwyran. Fresh goods grown on the land were sold from Refail Siop (Smithy's Shop), while items such as coal and grain came from further afield, delivered by pony and cart from the Caernarfon ferry.In its time, Stick Cottage has been both a smithy and a dairy, before becoming a software development office in the late 1980's (AditSite and AditTrec), and most recently is where the Anglesey Stick first originated (hence Stick Cottage). The Anglesey Stick is a hand-crafted Greenland paddle made to order - 'a paddle of beauty as well as functionality'. If you're a keen sea-kayaker, you may like to try one out while you're staying at Stick Cottage. Just ask Paul about his paddles, while you're here. Local AreaThe local area is renowned for the award-winning sandy beach of Newborough, just 2 miles away, with Llanddwyn island at the far end named after Santes Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of love. This is a fantastic location for wildlife: Newborough Warren is home to a huge variety of wildflowers; the forest is a recent stronghold for red squirrels and is famous for its raven roost, often numbering in the thousands; ornithologists will also spot plenty of waders and waterfowl from the hides at Newborough and Malltraeth.There are equally beautiful beaches at Aberffraw, Cable Bay, Lligwy, Traeth Bychan, Church Bay and Benllech, all less than half an hour's drive from Stick Cottage.
