Menai Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Beaumaris Pier

Highlight • Bridge

The pier is a great place to linger and offers a great view of the bay. When we were there, many people successfully fished crabs out of the sea.

A short walk around the church cemetery affords wonderful views of the Menai Strait, both bridges and Ynys Gorad Goch island, whose residents once made a living from the fish caught at the traps built there.
