A beach known for its "geological and archaeological wonders" is crumbling into the sea due to storms and rapid tides. Claims have been made that work carried out by the local authority to protect it is contributing to its demise.
Lleiniog beach, near Llangoed, Anglesey, lies off the Menai Strait and is considered an area of natural beauty but it is "rapidly eroding". In 2018, heavy machinery was used to pile up boulders dating back to the Ice Age.
It has been studied by scientists and academics in the subjects of geology, archaeology, marine biology and Roman and medieval history. As a result of erosion, the powerful tides of the Menai Strait, storms and easterlies, the coastal area is fighting for survival.
