The village has a very important place in Welsh history and in the Middle Ages, was the political centre of Wales and the capital of the kingdom of Gwynedd, well before the Aberffraw cottages of today were ever built! However well before then in the Mesolithic period around 7,000 BC humans had first settled here. As with most Cities, Towns and Villages fresh water was the main reason they were built and Aberffraw is no exception, the village was built on the banks of the river Ffraw near the sea estuary and beach, where many Aberffraw self catering rentals can be found today. The origin of the name Aberffraw comes from Aber meaning at the mouth of the estuary or river. The mouth of the river now is quite narrow and also quite shallow, but in medieval times when the Prince of Wales lived here, the estuary would have been much wider and the river much deeper to allow large ships to dock. Christian worship can be traced back to 1254 and the old church of Llangwyfan that stands on a rocky islet in a bay just outside Aberffraw and was dedicated to St. Cwyfan.  Now a great holiday or short break destination, Aberffraw cottages, holiday rentals and b&bs make a superb base from which to explore the rest of Anglesey’s towns and villages. The island is full of history and activities to keep the most active entertained. Check out our Bargain breaks page for great value Aberffraw accommodation.
