Burry Holms
Burry Holms () ( cy, Ynys Lanwol), a tidal island with the height of () is at the northern end of Rhossili Bay in the Gower Peninsula, Wales. During spring and summer, Burry Holms is covered by flowers such as thrift and sea campion. Etymologies The island was well known within Celtic Christianity as it was heavily associated with traditions of Saint Cenydd (who is thought to have lived there as a hermit). As such, it would certainly have had an identifiable name in Old Welsh, possibly using Cenydd as an eponym. Later records of the name ''"Saint Kenyth atte Holmes"'' may also suggest a pre-Norse nomenclature associated with Cenydd. Despite this, the current English names only date back to the Norse period and the Modern Welsh name, Ynys Lanwol ("tidal island") is thought to be a relatively recent appellation. "''Holmes''" is a common element of English place-names in Wales, ultimately deriving from the Old Norse ''holmr'', which denotes "a small and rounded islet". The ...
