Forage & honey flows
Oilseed rape on the Anglesey plateau — grown widely between Llangefni, Gwalchmai and Llanerchymedd — gives a generous early May crop. Hawthorn on deep double-hedges follows through the agricultural lanes; white clover persists on the dairy pastures through summer. Gorse dominates the west-coast clifftops and coastal heath of Holy Island and the Lligwy headland from March onward; heather and bilberry add a late-August supplement on Mynydd Llwydiarth and the higher Mynydd Parys plateau. Coastal dune slacks at Newborough Warren and Aberffraw carry wild thyme, kidney vetch and bird's-foot trefoil — distinctive forage found in few other Welsh regions. Sea lavender on the Malltraeth Estuary and Cefni margins adds seasoning; bramble is universal on scrub, hedgerow and forest edge; ivy on old stone farmhouses and coastal cottages closes the year.
