Designed by Scottish architect Thomas Telford, the Menai Suspension Bridge links the island of Anglesey with mainland Wales. The completion of the bridge in 1826 made the island accessible via road for the first time. The beautiful bridge was promoted to UNESCO as a candidate World Heritage site in 2005.
