COPPER MOUNTAIN

Copper Mountain Anglesey Travel Poster

Parys Mountain (Welsh: Mynydd Parys) is south of the town of Amlwch in North East Anglesey, Wales. It is the site of a large copper mine from the late 18th century. Sometimes called the Copper Kingdom.

Amlwch Copper Kingdom: Parys Mountain

The beautiful ‘Copper Kingdom’ is the subject of this colourful poster from Welsh Posters. Miners started to mine copper from Copper Mountain in the Bronze Age, as long as 4,000 years ago.

After the 1760s, this small corner of Wales became the cauldron of the Industrial Revolution. Parys Mountain briefly produced more copper than any other mine in the world.

The copper from this mine was used to coat the warships of the Royal Navy at Trafalgar in 1805. The “Copper Kingdom” refers to the area of Amlwch on Anglesey, North Wales. Copper was mined at Parys Mountain creating a huge crater which was excavated largely by hand and with the use of gunpowder.

Stunningly colourful

The ground in this small area of Anglesey is full of minerals.The colours caused by these minerals leaching out are amazing – the area once a busy industrial site is now a tranquil and peaceful place to visit with some beautiful wildlife.
