The Isle of Anglesey is a county in the north-west of Wales. It is one of the 22 principal areas of Wales.
Communities are the lowest tier of local government in Wales. Unlike English counties, which often contain unparished areas, all Welsh principal areas are entirely divided into communities.
There are 40 communities in the Isle of Anglesey, with Llanddyfnan being the largest and Holyhead the most populated. All of them have a community council, with five calling themselves town councils in Amlwch, Beaumaris, Holyhead, Llangefni and Menai Bridge.
