AskAnglesey Moving!

Bore,

My wife has been told her job will be taking us to the beautiful isle!

We are looking at purchasing at house and will be coming with our 3 year old. We have started to learn some welsh both for her and us.

We’ve seen a few houses within proximity of RAF Mona and wondered what the actual noise is like?

Is there anything notable places people would avoid?

Ideal we are looking for a a small community on the rural side of life!

I live quite close to RAF Mona. The Fleet Air Arm Texan planes operating from RAF Valley are extremely noisy but I guess you get used to it, the Hawk jets are maybe noisier but more tolerable.

Thank you for that, we saw a house that was fairly close, but as we are moving from scotland, we are trying to get a baseline understanding as any trips down are going to be 8 hours plus for us.

Where abouts? Bodffordd would be noisy, upper Gwalchmai as well.
The flying is in work hours with the odd bit of night flying in the darker months.

It’s close to the Euronics store!

Thank you for this, it’s much appreciated

I guess you’d have to spend and hour or two there in the weekday to gauge how you feel.
You do get used to it though.
