The Welsh have an alternative Valentine's Day - Santes Dwynwen's Day - held every year on 25 January. It celebrates Dwynwen, the Welsh Saint of love. Dwynwen became a nun and went to Llanddwyn Island, a tiny island off Anglesey to build a church. As well as being rich in Celtic legend, the island has breathtaking scenery - the flora and fauna of the Newborough Warren sand dunes, 10 miles of footpaths, and spectacular views of Snowdonia and the Llŷn Peninsula.
Whilst 25 January has passed, a 14th February walk around Llanddwyn Island could be just the topic to blow away the winter cobwebs.
