A pair of travel vloggers who have been touring Wales have shared their delight at an "absolutely beautiful" find on the island of Anglesey. South African couple Leanne and Dan, who document their adventures on The Buddymoon YouTube channel, have traversed the length and breadth of Wales in their van, visiting locations from Cardiff to the scenic Llŷn Peninsula.
‌
Their most recent journey took them to what they described as the "head" of Wales in the north, Ynys Môn (Anglesey). In a video titled I Guess All Good Things Must Come To An End (Wales), the couple began their exploration with a visit to the village of Llanfairpwll.
‌
After snapping the obligatory photo next to the sign at Llanfairpwll, famous for its extraordinarily long name, the duo set off in pursuit of a lighthouse they had spotted on one of Leanne's Windows wallpapers.
‌
Departing from the car park at Newborough National Nature Reserve and Forest, Dan enthusiastically told viewers that they "must see" this lighthouse.

He explained: "We actually found it on one of Leanne's Windows wallpapers on her laptop, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, where is that?' And little did we know it was in Wales"

Stepping onto the beach, Leanne exclaimed: "How beautiful is this view, though? Oh my gosh, I almost broke my back looking at the view. We have the Snowdonia mountains in the background and this beautiful bay. It's so, so flat."

Later, she revealed they had reached what she called the "Island of the Blessed", which proved to be the beloved local gem, Ynys Llanddwyn, a small tidal island situated off Anglesey's western coastline.
‌
As the pair drew closer, Dan noted that he'd noticed a number of noisy planes overhead. Yet in the comments section, someone highlighted the location's proximity to RAF Valley, the nearby Royal Air Force base.
The spot looked as beautiful as the pictures, albeit with some more clouds
He noticed signage warning that drone flying was prohibited in the vicinity, leaving him somewhat deflated as he showed some of the aerial photographs of the location that he'd found online.
‌
Dan remarked: "It's just absolutely beautiful. You can see on the one side, we have the sea and on the other side, we have the sea, too. And there's actually quite a few beaches that people come here to in order to swim, but yeah, we're not doing that."
In a sweet moment, the couple later shared a kiss at the landmark

Once they arrived at the "impressive" lighthouse, the couple examined the structure, though it was the surrounding view that particularly impressed Leanne, who described it as "even better" and "so pretty."

In a sweet moment, the couple were later spotted sharing a kiss as they looked out over the idyllic Welsh scene, with the lighthouse standing guard over the ocean in the distance.
