Aber Alaw (Welsh: "Mouth of the Alaw" ) is at the mouth of the river Alaw on Anglesey. According to the Mabinogion, it is here that Queen Branwen died of grief after escaping the destruction of Ireland. She and the seven survivors of Prydein (Britain) landed at Talebolyon, and upon seeing the coasts of both Ireland and Prydein, she died of a broken heart, blaming herself for the havoc.
